3x=1-2
Consider the first equation. Subtract 2 from both sides.
3x=-1
Subtract 2 from 1 to get -1.
x=-\frac{1}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
y+\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^{-2}=\frac{2}{5}
Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.
y+9=\frac{2}{5}
Calculate -\frac{1}{3} to the power of -2 and get 9.
y=\frac{2}{5}-9
Subtract 9 from both sides.
y=-\frac{43}{5}
Subtract 9 from \frac{2}{5} to get -\frac{43}{5}.
x=-\frac{1}{3} y=-\frac{43}{5}
The system is now solved.
