Answer:

x = -5 y = -3

Explanation:

-3x + 2y = 9

multiply the 2nd equation by 3 to set it up for elimination

3(x - 3y)= 3(4)

3x-9y = 12

so now combine both to add

-3x + 2y = 9

3x - 9y = 12

Adding both gives you

-7y = 21

divide both by -7 and you get

y = -3

and you substitute y back into equation to get x

x - 3 (-3) = 4 gives you

x + 9 = 4

x = 4 - 9

x = -5
