Multiply FIRST equation by - 2 ( 7 will work too) then add the equations together and one variable will be eliminated....then solve for the remaining variable.... Once you find that, substitute it into one of the equations to find the OTHER variable...
-2* (5x+y) = -2 * 9
-10x - 2y = -18 Now add this tothe SECOND equation...
-9y = -36 y = 4
5x + (4) = 9
x = 1
