Answer:
x= -1
y= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
9x-2y= -1………equation 1
2y= 3x-5……….equation 2
From equation 2
2y= 3x -5
y= 3x-5/2
Substitute 3x-5/2 for y in equation 1
9x -2(3x-5/2)= -1
9x -(3x-5)= -1
9x -3x+5= -1
6x= -1-5
6x= -6
x= -6/6
x= -1
Substitite -1 for x in equation 2
2y= 3(-1)-5
2y = -3-5
2y = -8
y = -8/2
y= -4
Hence x = -1 and y= -4
