Answer:

x = -2, y = -(10/7)

Explanation:

-3x + 3 = 9 ---------- equation 1

12x - 7y = -14 --------equation 2

from equation 1

-3x + 3 = 9

collect like terms

-3x = 9 - 3

-3x = 6

dividing both sides by -3

x = -2

substitute x = -2 into equation 2

12x - 7y = -14

12(-2) - 7y = -14

-24 - 7y = -14

collect like terms

-7y = -14 + 24

-7y = 10

divide both sides by -7

y = -(10/7)

therefore x = -2, and y = -(10/7)
