-x=8y-19
-x+6y=-9
----------
Rearrange:
-x - 8y = -19
-x + 6y = -9
----------
Subtract the top from the bottom to get:
2y = 10
y = 5
---------
Solve for "x":
-x = 8y-19
-x = 40-19
-x = 21
x = -21

- x = 8y - 19 ------ - x - 8y = - 19 ------ eq (i)

x + 6y = - 9 ------ eq (ii)

Solution: highlight_green%28x+=+-+93%29, and highlight_green%28y+=+14%29, or (- 93, 14)

You can do the check!!
