2x+9y=4
2x-6y=-1 multiply this equation by - 1 = -2x + 6y = 1
So we have
2x +9y=4
-2x +6y=1 now.....add these together
15y = 5 divide both sides by 15
y = 5/15 = 1/3
And using the frist equation, we can find x by substituting 1/3 for y
2x + 9(1/3) = 4
2x + 3 = 4 subtract 3 from both sides
2x = 1 divide by 2 on both sides
x = 1/2
So the solution is (x, y) = (1/2, 1/3)
