Answer 1

To solve the system by substitution, we can first substitute the first equation into the second equation:

5x = 9x + 4

Now, let's solve for x:

4x = -4

x = -1

Now that we have found the value of x, we can substitute it back into the first equation to find the value of y:

y = 5(-1)

y = -5

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -1 and y = -5.
