    ( - 9, - 9)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the 2 equations

    3x - 4y = 9 → (1)

    - 3x + 2y = 9 → (2)

    Adding (1) and (2) will eliminate the term in x

    (1) + (2) term by term

    (3x - 3x) + ( - 4y + 2y) = (9 + 9)

    0 - 2y = 18

    - 2y = 18 (divide both sides by - 2)

    y = - 9

    Substitute y = - 9 into (1) or (2) and evaluate for x

    (1) → 3x + 36 = 9 (subtract 36 from both sides)

    3x = - 27 (divide both sides by 3)

    x = - 9

    Solution is ( - 9, - 9)
