Answer:

The system has no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

y = -3x - 9 ................................................................(1)

-y = 3x + 9 ...............................................................(2)

To solve by elimination, let us eliminate y by adding equation (1) and (2)

y + (-y) = -3x + 3x - 9 + 9

0 = 0

The variable x has also vanished. We conclude that the system has no solution
