Answer:

there is no solution

Explanation:

Add 2y to the first equation and you get ...

x + 2y = 1

Compared to the second equation

x + 2y = 9

you find the equations are "inconsistent." That is, they describe parallel lines, so there are no values of x and y that satisfy both equations.

There is no solution.
