Solution:

Step-1: Multiply 2 to an equation such that a term is equivalent.

  • -3x + 2y = -39

5x + 4y = 21

  • => 2(-3x + 2y = -39)

5x + 4y = 21

  • => -6x + 4y = -78

5x + 4y = 21

Step-2: Subtract the equations to remove the y variable.

  • -6x + 4y = -78

-5x - 4y = -21

  • -11x = -99

Step-3: Divide to obtain the x variable.

  • -11x = -99
  • => x = -99/-11
  • => x = 9

Step-4: Substitute the value of x into any equation to obtain the value of y.

  • -3x + 2y = -39
  • => -3(9) + 2y = -39
  • => -27 + 2y = -39
  • => 2y = -39 + 27
  • => 2y = -12
  • => y = -6

Hence, the solution to your question is (9,-6).
