### Linear Transformation in \(\mathbb{R}^2\)

#### Problem Statement
Let \( T: \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2 \) be a linear transformation such that 
\[ T(x_1, x_2) = (x_1 + x_2, 2x_1 + 6x_2). \]
Find \( \mathbf{x} \) such that 
\[ T(\mathbf{x}) = (5, -6). \]

*Solution:*
\[ \mathbf{x} = (9, -4). \]

---

### Explanation:
To find the vector \(\mathbf{x} = (x_1, x_2)\) such that \(T(\mathbf{x}) = (5, -6)\), we start by writing down the transformation equations:

\[ 
T(x_1, x_2) = (x_1 + x_2, 2x_1 + 6x_2).
\]

We need to find \(x_1\) and \(x_2\) such that:

\[ 
x_1 + x_2 = 5
\]
\[ 
2x_1 + 6x_2 = -6.
\]

Solve these equations simultaneously:

1. \(x_1 + x_2 = 5\)
2. \(2x_1 + 6x_2 = -6\)

From the first equation:

\[ 
x_1 = 5 - x_2.
\]

Substitute \(x_1\) in the second equation:

\[ 
2(5 - x_2) + 6x_2 = -6.
\]

Simplify:

\[ 
10 - 2x_2 + 6x_2 = -6,
\]
\[ 
10 + 4x_2 = -6,
\]
\[ 
4x_2 = -6 - 10,
\]
\[ 
4x_2 = -16,
\]
\[ 
x_2 = -4.
\]

Substitute \(x_2 = -4\) back into the first equation:

\[ 
x_1 = 5 - (-4),
\]
\[ 
x_1 = 9.
\]

So, \(\mathbf{x} = (9, -4)\).

### Conclusion
Thus, the vector \
