\left \{ {{2y-x=-9} \atop {y=2x-3}} \right. \iff \left \{ {{2(2x-3)-x=-9} \atop {y=2x-3}} \right. \iff \{ {{4x-6-x=-9} \atop {y=2x-3}} \right. \\


\{ {{3x=-9+6} \atop {y=2x-3}} \right. \iff \{ {{3x=-3} \atop {y=2x-3}} \right. \iff \{ {{x=-1} \atop {y=2x-3}} \right. \\


\{ {{x=-1} \atop {y=2(-1)-3}} \right \iff \{ {{x=-1} \atop {y=-2-3}} \right \implies \bf \{ {{x=-1} \atop {y=-5}}


\implies (x, \ y) = (-1, \ -5)
