Hi,
Let x and y represent the 1st and 2nd number respectively
 2x - y = -1
 2y + 3x = 9
0r
 2x - y = -1     |multiplying this EQ thru by 2 and adding the two EQs to eliminate y
<u> 3x + 2y = 9</u>
  7x = 7
   x = 1   and Using {{{2x - y = -1}}}  0r y = 2x+1,  y = 3
two number are: 1 , 3 

 CHECKING our answer***
Using {{{2y + 3x = 9}}}
    6 + 3 = 9
