Explanation:

From second equation

3y = 19 - x multiply it by 3

9y = 57 - 3x Use this value of '9y ' in the first equation (substitution)

9x + (57-3x) = 9 solve for x

6x = -48

x = -8 use this value of 'x' in any of the equations to calculate the 'y'

x + 3y = 19

- 8 + 3y = 19

3y = 27

y = 9

(-8,9)
