The second equation is already solved in terms of x, so you can just take the expression in y to which x is equal and substitute that expression for x in the first equation. This gives you a single equation in a single variable:

cartoon%284%2Ared%28x%29%2B3y=9%2C+4%2Ared%28%283y%2B6%29%29%2B3y=9%29

Solve 4%283y%2B6%29%2B3y=9%29 for y. Once you have determined the value for y, substitute that value into the second equation and do the arithmetic to determine the value of x.

To check your answers, substitute the values for x and y into both equations and verify that the result is a pair of true statements.
