Answer:

x = 0 , y = 7/6

Explanation:

Solve the following system:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x - 9 = -9

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x - 9 = -9

Add 9 to both sides:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x = 0

Divide both sides by 6:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

x = 0

Substitute x = 0 into the first equation:

{18 y = 21

x = 0

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{18 y = 21

x = 0

Divide both sides by 18:

{y = 7/6

x = 0
