Given data:

The first equation is 2x+3y=-12.

The second equation is x+y=9.

The second equation can be written as,

y=9-x

Substitute the above value in second equation.

2x+3(9-x)=-12

2x+27-3x=-12

-x=-39

x=39

The value of y is,

39+y=9

y=-30.

Thus, the value of x is 39, and the value of y is -30.
