Substitute and Simplify: Substitute y=9 into the equation –2x−y=–7 and then simplify.Substitute 9 for y in –2x−y=–7.–2x−9=–7
Isolate Variable Term: Isolate the variable term.−2x−9=−7−2x−9+9=−7+9−2x=2
Solve for x: Solve for x.−2x=2−2−2x=−22x=−1
Find Ordered Pair Solution: We found:x=−1y=9What is the solution in the form of an ordered pair?Substitute x=−1 and y=9 into (x,y).The solution is (−1,9).
