Question 877841: Solve the following linear equations (use the substitution method),
giving the solution as a coordinate pair in the form (x,y).
y = 9x + 9
y = 4x - 9
Answer: (-18/5,117/5) or (-3 3/5, -23 2/5)

Since they're both equal to y set them equal to each other and solve for x.
9x%2B9=4x-9
5x=-18%7D%7D%0D%0A%7B%7B%7Bx=-18%2F5
Then use either equation to solve for y
y=9%28-18%2F5%29%2B45%2F5
y=-162%2F5%2B45%2F5
y=-117%2F5
