x=-3, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

2x-3y=-9 Eqn 1

x+y = - 2 Eqn 2

From eqn 2:

$x=-y-2$

Putting x=-y-2 in eqn 1

$2(-y-2)-3y=-9\\-2y+4-3y=-9\\-5y-4=-9\\Adding\ 4\ on\ both\ sides\\-5y-4+4=-9+4\\-5y=-5\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ -5\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-5}{-5}\\y=1\\Putting\ y=1\ in\ eqn\ 2\\x+1=-2\\Subtracting\ 1\ from\ both\ sides\\x+1-1=-2-1\\x=-3$

Hence,

x=-3, y=1
