2x + 5y = -9
3x - 4y = -2
Solution by elimination. Let us try to eliminate x, by making the coefficient of x the same in both the eqns.
Multiply first equation by 3
---> (A)
Multiply second equation by 2
---> (B)
Subtract (B) from (A)

So
Substituting for y in 1st equation



Ordered pair is (-2,-1)
