multiply the first by 2 and the second by -5 and add them
solve for x
then plug that into any of the equations and solve for y
then write them as (x,y)

4x+5y=-18
-9x+2y=-92
-------
Multiply thru 1st equation by 2
Multiply thru 2nd equation by 5
-------------------------------------
8x + 10y = -36
-45x + 10y = -460
------------------------
53x = 424
x = 8
----
Solve for "y":
4x + 5y = -18
32 + 5y = -18
5y = -50
y = -10
----
Ans: (8,-10)
