Answer:

1.

-2x - 9y = -3

-7x - 9y= -33

Set equal to y.

-2x - 9y = -3

-9y = 2x - 3

y = -2/9x + 3/9

y = -2/9x + 1/3

-7x - 9y= -33

-9y = 7x - 33

y = -7/9x + 33/9

y = -7/9x + 11/3

Set equal to each other

-2/9x + 1/3 = -7/9x + 11/3

Combine like terms.

5/9x = 10/3

Multiply by 9/5

x = 6

Plug x in.

y = -7/9(6) + 11/3

y = -42/9 + 11/3

y = -42/9 + 33/9

y = -9/9

y = -1

(6, -1)

2.

-3x - 7y = 18

9x + 2y = 3

Set equal to y.

-3x - 7y = 18

-7y = 3x + 18

y = -3/7x - 18/7

9x + 2y = 3

2y = -9x + 3

y = -9/2x + 3/2

Set equal to each other.

-3/7x - 18/7 = -9/2x + 3/2

57/14x = 57/14

Multiply 14/57.

x = 1

Plug x in.

-3(1) - 7y = 18

-3 - 7y = 18

-7y = 21

y = -3

(1, -3)
