$color(blue)(x = -62/5), color(green)(y = 27/5)$

$9x + 1 = -4y$ Eqn (1)

$y = (9x + 1) / -4$

$7x - 2y = 13$ Eqn (2)

Substituting value of yin Eqn (2),

$7x - (2 * (9x + 1)/-4) = 13$

$-28x + 18x + 2 = -52$

$-10x = - 54$ or $x = 27/5$

Substituting value of x in Eqn (1),

$y = (9 *(27/5) + 1) / -4 = (243 + 5) / -20 = -62/5$

How do solve the following linear system?: 9x + 1 = -4y, 7x - 2y - 13 = 0 9x + 1 = -4y, 7x - 2y - 13 = 0 ?
