An equation with two variables may look hard, but it's really pretty easy.
First, set up the equation like so:
x%2B9y=9
3x%2B6y=6
Now, multiply the top equation by 3 so that the x's in each equation can be removed by use of subtraction:
3x%2B6y=6
3x%2B6y=6
Now, subtract the two. This is what you get:
21y=21
Thus, y=1
Finally, plug in the value for y into any equation.
x%2B9%281%29=9;x=0
