This system of equations is inconsistent. It describes two parallel lines, so has no solution.

If you mulitply the first equation by 4, you get

... 4x + 8y = 52

There are no values of x and y that will make 4x+8y sum to both - 9 and 52.

Solve x + 2y = 134x + 8y = - 9

Solve x + 2y = 13

4x + 8y = - 9
