The answer is that the first one is not the longer one the second one is.
the first one equals 2
the second one equals 5
Y = -2 x - 9
3 x - 4(-2 x - 9 ) = -8
3 x + 8 x + 36 = - 8
11 x = - 44, x = - 4
y = 8 - 9 , y = -1
This is a unique solution, the system is independent.
This can be written as:

"No greater than" does not necessarily mean less than, but it just means it cannot go over. So equal to or less than.
"The difference of a number and 2" can be represented as "n - 2"
If you were to solve this inequality, you would end up getting:
