Question
- \\(-3x + 9y = 6\\)\\(x - 9y = 10\\)
Step1: Add the two equations
$$(-3x + 9y) + (x - 9y) = 6 + 10$$
$$-3x + x + 9y - 9y = 16$$
$$-2x = 16$$
Step2: Solve for x
$$x = \frac{16}{-2} = -8$$
Step3: Substitute x into second equation
$$-8 - 9y = 10$$
Step4: Solve for y
$$-9y = 10 + 8 = 18$$
$$y = \frac{18}{-9} = -2$$
