Question 1104044
.
<pre>
The given system is equivalent to THIS

 x + 9y =  5,    (1)
4x + 9y = -7,    (2)


Subtract eq(1) from eq(2) (both sides). You will get

4x - x = -7 - 5,   or

3x = - 12  ====>  x = {{{-12/3}}} = -4.


Then from eq(1) 9y = 5 - x = 5 - (-4) = 9  ====>  y = 1.


<U>Answer</U>.  The solution is  (x,y) = (-4,1).
