Answer:

x=21, y=2 OR (21, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

solve using substitution:

-1/3x + 9 = 2/3x -12

9 = x -12 (add 1/3 to both sides)

x =21 (add 12 to both sides)

substitute x into first equation to find y ( y= -1/3x +9)

y = -1/3(21) + 9

y = -7 +9

y= 2

Answer : x = 21, y = 2  OR  (21 , 2)
