Answer: The given equations are not valid because there is no equal sign between the first and second equation. If you are trying to solve a system of equations it should be in the form of

3x + 5y = - 9

-6x - 5y = 18

You can solve for x and y by using different methods such as substitution, elimination or graphing.

In this case, you can add the first equation to the second equation:

3x + 5y = -9

-6x - 5y = 18

-3x = 27

x = -9

Now you can substitute this value of x into one of the equations to find the value of y.

3x + 5y = -9

3(-9) + 5y = -9

-27 + 5y = -9

5y = 18

y = 3.6

So, the solution is x = -9 and y = 3.6

It's important to check your solution by substituting the values of x and y in the original equations to make sure that the solution is consistent.
