Answer:
x = -5 y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x + 2y = 9
multiply the 2nd equation by 3 to set it up for elimination
3(x - 3y)= 3(4)
3x-9y = 12
so now combine both to add
-3x + 2y = 9
3x - 9y = 12
Adding both gives you
-7y = 21
divide both by -7 and you get
y = -3
and you substitute y back into equation to get x
x - 3 (-3) = 4 gives you
x + 9 = 4
x = 4 - 9
x = -5
1,3,5 because they are all negatives less than -3
