Answer:
(-7,7)

Explanation:

Given the following system of equations:


\left \{ {{4x+9y=35} \atop {-4x+y=35}} \right.

You can solve it using the Elimination Method:

1. Add the equations and solve for "y". Then:


\left \{ {{4x+9y=35} \atop {-4x+y=35}} \right.\\...................\\10x=70\\\\x=(70)/(10)\\\\x=7

2. Substitute the value of "y" into any original equation and solve for "x" in order to find its value:


4x+9(7)=35\\\\4x=35-63\\\\x=(-28)/(4)\\\\x=-7

Therefore, the solution is:


(-7,7)
