X-9=-2 x²y=196

Let's solve the equations step by step. ### Equation 1: \( x - 9 = -2 \) To solve for \( x \), add 9 to both sides: \[ x = -2 + 9 \] \[ x = 7 \] ### Equation 2: \( x^2 y = 196 \) Now, we can substitute the value of \( x \) we found into the second equation: \[ 7^2 y = 196 \] Calculate \( 7^2 \): \[ 49y = 196 \] Next, divide both sides by 49 to solve for \( y \): \[ y = \frac{196}{49} \] \[ y = 4 \] ### Solution: So the solutions are: \[ x = 7 \] \[ y = 4 \]
