First, let's cancel out the x by multiplying 2x + 18y = -9 by -2.
-2 ( 2x + 18y = -9) = -4x -36y = 18
Then, we combine the two equations.
-4x + 4x = 0
18y - 36y = -18y
-27 + 18 = -9
Our new equation is -18y = -9.
Now, divide both sides by -18.
-18y / -18 = y
-9/ -18 = 1/2
y = 1/2
We can plug in a value for y since y = 1/2 now.
Let's use 2x + 18y = -9
Plug in y.
2x + 18(1/2) = -9
2x + 9 = -9
Then, subtract 9 from both sides.
2x = -18
Divide by 2.
2x/2 = x
-18/2 = -9
x = -9
Lastly, we can plug in both x and y values to see it works.
2(-9) + 18(1/2) = -9
-18 + 9 = -9
Therefore, the values of x and y does work.
x = -9
y = 1/2

76.88 I just typed it in on a calculator.
When you divide fractions, you want to use keep change flip.
You keep the 1st fraction, change the division sign into a multiplication sign, then flip the last fraction.
Let’s use 3/4 ÷ 2/3
Keep 3/4 the same, change the division sign into a multiplication sign, and flip 2/3 so that it is 3/2
It’ll look like this
3/4 x 3/2
Now just multiply the numerators, 2 x 3, then multiply the demoninators, 4 x 2.
You get 6/8
Simplify this number and you get 3/4.
If you have any further questions feel free to ask.
Hope this helps.
You should search it on youtube becouse pepople cant really explain or draw the shape to show you
