Question

solve.
-9x - 5y = -19
9x - 7y = -5
(□, □)

Explanation:

Step1: Add the two equations

$$(-9x - 5y) + (9x - 7y) = -19 + (-5)$$
Simplify to eliminate $x$:
$$-12y = -24$$

Step2: Solve for $y$

$$y = \frac{-24}{-12} = 2$$

Step3: Substitute $y=2$ into second equation

$$9x - 7(2) = -5$$
Simplify:
$$9x - 14 = -5$$

Step4: Solve for $x$

$$9x = -5 + 14 = 9$$
$$x = \frac{9}{9} = 1$$

Answer:

$(1, 2)$
