The equations are
\ (equation 1)
(equation 2)
Since
Rewrite the first equation for x.
\ (Subtract 9x from each side)
(Commutative property:
)
(Additive inverse property:
)
(Additive identity property:
)
(Multiply each side by negative one)
(Product of two same signs is positive)
Now Substitute for y in either equation to find the value of x.
(equation 1)
(replace
