Stack Equations: First, let's stack the equations to see what we're working with:−8x+9y=−21−3x+9y=−36
Eliminate y: We can eliminate y by subtracting the second equation from the first one: (−8x+9y)−(−3x+9y)=−21−(−36)
Simplify Subtraction: Simplify the subtraction: −8x+9y+3x−9y=−21+36
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms: −5x=15
Solve for x: Divide both sides by −5 to solve for x:x=−515x=−3
Substitute x for y: Now substitute x=−3 into one of the original equations to solve for y. Let's use the first equation:−8(−3)+9y=−21
Multiply and Solve for y: Multiply −8 by −3:24+9y=−21
Subtract to Solve for y: Subtract 24 from both sides to solve for y: 9y=−21−249y=−45
Divide to Find y: Divide both sides by 9 to find y:y = −945y = −5
