Answer:The second equation in the system, 4 + 3y = 5, simplifies to 3y = 1, which means y = 1/3.

Substituting this value of y into the first equation gives:

-9x - 2(1/3) = -16

Multiplying through by 3 to eliminate the fraction gives:

-27x - 2 = -48

Adding 2 to both sides gives:

-27x = -46

Dividing both sides by -27 gives:

x = 46/27

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 46/27 and y = 1/3.
