You may use the reduction method to solve the system, hence, you may multiply the first equation by 2, such that:
`2(2x - 3y) = 2*(-2)`
`4x - 6y = -4`
You may now add the equation `4x - 6y = -4` to the equation -`4x + 9y = 7, ` such that:
`4x - 6y - 4x + 9y= -4 + 7`
`3y = 3 => y = 1`
You may replace 1 for y in equation `2x - 3y = -2` , such that:
`2x - 3 = -2 => 2x = -2 + 3 => 2x = 1 => x = 1/2`
Hence, evaluating the solution to the given system, yields `x = 1/2, y = 1.`
