Answer:

NP (Not possible)

Explanation:

When you find 'X', by inserting '6x-3' into the 'Y', you get:

18x - 3(6x-3) = 9

distribute:

18x -18x + 9 = 9

Subtract 9 from 9 = 0

Add like numbers (the x's), and it equals 0

0=0

You can't find x, rendering the equation 'NP'

Hopefully this answer is right and an option :)
