-5x+3y=-6 9x-4y=1 try adding them together and get 9x-5x+3x-4y=1-6 4x-y=-5 multiply the equation by 3 12x-3y=-15 add this euation to -5x+3y=-6 and get 12x-5x+3y-3y=-6-15 7x=-21 divide both sides by 7 x=-3
subsitute x=-3 for x in any equation 9x-4y=1 9(3)-4y=1 27-4y=1 -4y=-26 divide both sides by -4 y=6 and 2/4 or 6.5
