### Solving Systems of Linear Equations Using Matrices

**Objective:**
Solve for \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) given the matrix equation.

### Problem Statement:
Find \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \).

\[ 
\begin{bmatrix}
-5 & 1 \\
-2 & 3 
\end{bmatrix} 
\begin{bmatrix}
x_1 \\
x_2
\end{bmatrix} 
+
\begin{bmatrix}
-9 \\
-3
\end{bmatrix} 
= 
\begin{bmatrix}
15 \\
17
\end{bmatrix} 
\]

### Solution:
We can break this problem into steps for clarity.

1. **Matrix Equation:**
   The equation can be written as:

   \[
   \begin{bmatrix}
   -5 & 1 \\
   -2 & 3 
   \end{bmatrix}
   \begin{bmatrix}
   x_1 \\
   x_2
   \end{bmatrix}
   + 
   \begin{bmatrix}
   -9 \\
   -3 
   \end{bmatrix}
   = 
   \begin{bmatrix}
   15 \\
   17 
   \end{bmatrix}
   \]

2. **Isolate the system of equations:**
   To isolate the matrix containing \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \), subtract \(\begin{bmatrix} -9 \\ -3 \end{bmatrix}\) from both sides:

   \[
   \begin{bmatrix}
   -5 & 1 \\
   -2 & 3 
   \end{bmatrix}
   \begin{bmatrix}
   x_1 \\
   x_2
   \end{bmatrix}
   =
   \begin{bmatrix}
   15 \\
   17 
   \end{bmatrix}
   -
   \begin{bmatrix}
   -9 \\
   -3 
   \end{bmatrix}
   \]

3. **Perform the subtraction:**
   Simplify the right-hand side of the equation:

   \[
   \begin{bmatrix}
   15 - (-9) \\
   17 - (-3)
   \end{
