9x-6y=2
x=4y+5
9(4y+5)-6y=2 distributive property
36y + 45 -6y = 2 combine like terms
30y +45 = 2 take the 45 to the right
30y = 2-45 combine like terms
30 y = -43 divide by 30 both sides
y = -43/30
substitute the y value in the second equation
x = 4(-43/30) +5 multiply
x = -172/30 +5 add the fraction
x = -172+150/30 = -22/30 simplify
x = -11/15
