Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is

2y = x + 9

3x - 6y = -15

To solve the system, we first need to solve the first equation for x, so

2y = x + 9

2y - 9 = x + 9 - 9

2y - 9 = x

Then, replace x = 2y - 9 on the second equation

3x - 6y = -15

3(2y - 9) - 6y = -15

3(2y) + 3(-9) - 6y = -15

6y - 27 - 6y = -15

-27 = -15

Since -27 is not equal to -15, we get that this system of equation doesn't have solutions.
