Explanation:

Substitute x = -2y + 9 in the first equation to find y:


6( - 2y + 9) + y = - 59

Use the Distributive Property:


- 12y + 54 + y = - 59


- 11y + 54 = - 59

Subtract 54 from both sides:


- 11y = - 113

Divide each side by -11:


y = 10 (3)/(11)

Substitute y = 10 3/11 into the second equation:


x = - 2(10 (3)/(11) ) + 9

Multiply:


x = - 20 (6)/(11) + 9


x = - 11(6)/(11)

Solution point:

(-11 6/11, 10 3/11)
