Solve the below system of equations using the linear combination method. show all your work, explaining each step in solving the system using the linear combination method.

2x + 3y = 1

y = -2x - 9

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
