Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x,\ y-the\ numbers\\\\\text{The sum of four times a number and five times another number is -28:}\\\\4x+5y=-28\\\\\text{The sum of nine times the first number and two times the second number is 11:}\\\\9x+2y=11\\\\\text{We have the system of equations:}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x+5y=-28&\text{multiply both sides by2}\\9x+2y=11&\text{multiply both sides by (-5)}\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}8x+10y=-56\\-45x-10y=-55\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equation}$

$.\qquad-37x=-111\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-37)}\\.\qquad\qquad\boxed{x=3}\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the first equation:}\\\\4(3)+5y=-28\\12+5y=-28\qquad\text{subtrac 12 from both sides}\\5y=-40\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\boxed{y=-8}$
