(x,y)=(-22/3,-17/3)

Explanation:

1)x+3-2y=7

2)y=2x+9

Substitute the value of y to the first equation

rarrx+3-2(2x+9)=7

rarrx+3-4x-8=7

rarrx+3-4x=7+18

rarrx+3-4x=25

rarrx-4x=25-3

rarrx-4x=22

rarr-3x=22

rArrx=-22/3

Now,Substitute the value of x to the second equation

rarry=2(-22/3)+9

rarry=-44/3+9

rArry=-17/3
