You have the following system of equations:

y = 9x - 9

y = 9

In order to solve the previous system of equations, replace y = 9 into the first equation and solve for x:

9 = 9x - 9 add 9 both sides and simplify

9 + 9 = 9x

18 = 9x divide by 9 both sides

18/9 = x

2 = x

x = 2

Hence, the solution to the system is x = 2 and y = 9.
