The solution for the system of equations is:
$color(green)(x = -4$

$color(green)(y=2$

$2x + 9y =10$ .......equation $(1)$

$color(blue)(x = 4-4y$ ..............equation $(2)$

Solving by substitution:

Substituting equation $2$ into equation $1:$

$2x + 9y =10$

$2 * (color(blue)( 4 - 4y)) + 9y =10$

$color(blue)(8 - 8 y) + 9y =10$

$8 + y =10$

$y =10 - 8$

$color(green)(y=2$

Finding $x$ from equation $2:$

$x = 4-4y$

$x = 4-(4*2)$

$x = 4-8$

$color(green)(x = -4$
