Solve for what?
You can solve for x in terms of y:
x = (7/9)y - 79/9
or y in terms of x:
y+=+%289x+%2B+79%29%2F7

There's no single solution for one equation with 2 variables. There are an infinite # of solutions for it.
If you graph it, it's a straight line, and every point on the line is a solution.
