4x+9y=24
y=1/3x+2
---------------
Rearrange:
4x + 9y = 24
x - 3y = -6
=================
Modify for elimination:
4x + 9y = 24
4x -12y =-24
--------------
Subtract and solve for "y":
21y = 48
y = 16/7
-----------------
Solve for "x":
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(16/7) - 6
x = (48/7) - (42/7)
x = 6/7
===============
