Given:


\begin{gathered} x-5y=-9\ldots\ldots(1) \\ 4x+4y=-12\ldots\ldots\text{.}(2) \end{gathered}

Let's check the ordered pair (-4,1) in the first equation


\begin{gathered} x-5y=-9 \\ (-4)-5(1)=-9 \\ -4-5=-9 \\ -9=-9 \end{gathered}

Hence, (-4,1) is the solution of the first equation.

Now, check (-4,1) in the second equation


\begin{gathered} 4x+4y=-12 \\ 4(-4)+4(1)=-12 \\ -16+4=-12 \\ -12=-12 \end{gathered}

So, (-4,1) is the solution of the second equation.

Hence, (-4,1) is the solution of both systems of the equation.
