I am assuming that finding the x and y value is the goal for this question since it is not clarified.

So x = y + 3 is a equation we can plug in for x to find the y value.

-2(y+3) + 9y = 8

-2y - 6 + 9y = 8

7y - 6 = 8

7y = 15

y = 15/7

Plug in for the y value since that is now determined to find out x value.

x = 15/7 + 3

x = 15/7 + 21/7

x = 36/7
