We have to solve the system of linear equations:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x+15y=-117 \\ 4x+9y=-75 \end{gathered}[/tex]We can substract 2 times the second equation for the first equation and solve for y:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (8x+15y)-2(4x+9y)=-117-2(-75) \\ 8x+15y-8x-18y=-117+150 \\ 0x-3y=33 \\ y=\frac{33}{-3} \\ y=-11 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we can solve for x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x+9y=-75 \\ 4x+9(-11)=-75 \\ 4x-99=-75 \\ 4x=-75+99 \\ 4x=24 \\ x=\frac{24}{4} \\ x=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer: (x,y)=(6,-11)
