y=-3/2x+9
or
y+3/2x=9, or 2y+3x=18
2y+2x=16. -
2y+2x=16

x=2
y=6. Hope it help!

Equation 1) y = -3/2x + 9
Equation 2) 2x + 2y = 16

Add 3/2x to both sides of equation 1.

1) 3/2x + y = 9

Then, multiply all of equation one by 2.

1) 2(3/2x + y = 9)

1) 3x + 2y = 18
2) 2x + 2y = 16

Subtract.

x = 2

Plug in 2 for x in the first equation.

y=-3/2x+9

y = -3/2(2) + 9

y = -3 + 9

y = 6

So, x=2 and y = 6

~Hope I helped!~
