Use Gauss-Jordan method to solve.
2x – 3y = -9
2x + 2y = 6

Form the augmented matrix:
2 -3 -9
2 2 6
Perform row operations to obtain the reduced row echelon form of the matrix
R2 - R1
0 5 15
2 2 6
R1/5 and R2/2
0 1 3
1 1 3
R2-R1
0 1 3
1 0 0
Interchange R1 and R2
1 0 0
0 1 3
So the answer is x=0, y=3
