Answer:


(-(21)/(11),(15)/(11))

Explanation:

Given:


- 4x+y =9\\ x-3y = -6

Express
y in terms
x of using the first equation.


-4x+y=9\\y=4x+9

Now, plug in the above value in second equation and solve for
x.

This gives,


x-3y = -6\\x-3(4x+9)=-6\\x-12x-27=-6\\-11x-27=-6\\-11x=-6+27\\-11x=21\\x=(21)/(-11)=-(21)/(11)

Now, plug in
x value and solve for
y. This gives,


y=4x+9=4(-(21)/(11))+9=-(84)/(11)+(99)/(11)=(-84+99)/(11)=(15)/(11)

Therefore, the solution is
(-(21)/(11),(15)/(11))
