Answer:

(−2, −3)

Explanation:

Let's solve your system by substitution.

x−9y=25;6x−5y=3

Step: Solvex−9y=25for x:

x−9y=25

x−9y+9y=25+9y(Add 9y to both sides)

x=9y+25

Step: Substitute9y+25forxin6x−5y=3:

6x−5y=3

6(9y+25)−5y=3

49y+150=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

49y+150+−150=3+−150(Add -150 to both sides)

49y=−147

49y

49

=

−147

49

(Divide both sides by 49)

y=−3

Step: Substitute−3foryinx=9y+25:

x=9y+25

x=(9)(−3)+25

x=−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Therefore answer:

x=−2 and y=−3 which is (-2, -3)

Hope it helps!
