    Answer: x = - 3 y = 2 So (-3,2)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    - x + 3y = 9 Multiply everything by 2 then add to the second equation.

    2x + 5y = 4

    -2x + 6y = 18 then 2x-2x=0 Add the other terms and solve for y.

    11y = 22 divide both sides by 11 yo get y = 2 Substitute that into either one and solve for x.

    2x + 5y = 4

    2x + 5 (2) = 4

    2x + 10 = 4 subtract 10 from both sides 2x = 4 - 10

    2x = - 6 so divide both sides by 2 to get x = - 3
