1.) 2x+5y=-9 
    3x-4y=-2
 
2.) 4x+13y=40 
    4x+3y=-40
 
3.) 2x-3y=-15 
    y=x-2
 
4.)2x-3y=-15 
   x=4y
 
5.)x+y=14 
   x=6y
 
6.)y=x-2 
   7y-4x=10
 
i would really like to know these answers to this equations please!!!

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! find value of x and y  
1.)  
2x+5y=-9 
3x-4y=-2 
--------------- 
Multiply 1st Eq by 3 ; Multiply 2nd Eq by 2 
6x + 15y = - 27 
6x -  8y =   -4 
---------------- 
Subtract 2nd from 1st and solve for "y": 
23y = -23 
y = -1 
--------------------- 
Substitute into original #1 and solve for "x": 
2x + 5(-1) = -9 
2x = -4 
x = -2 
Ans: (-2,-1) 
====================== 
  
2.)  
4x+13y=40 
4x+3y=-40 
----------------------- 
Subtract 2nd from 1st: 
10y = 80 
y = 8 
---- 
Substitute into 4x+3y = -40 to solve for "x": 
4x + 3(8) = -40 
4x + 24 = -40 
4x = -64 
x = -16 
--- 
Ans: (-16,8) 
================================== 
  
3.)  
2x-3y=-15 
y=x-2 
--- 
Substitute for "y" and solve for "x": 
=========================================
 
  
4.) 
2x-3y=-15 
x=4y 
--- 
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y": 
========================================== 
 I'll leave the rest to you. 
Cheers,
