You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=2x+7 ...................................................... (1) y=9x+8 ...................................................... (2)
 From (1),
 x= (y-7)/2
 Substituting value of x in eqn (2) we get,
 y= 9.(y-7)/2 + 8
 y = (9y-63+18)/2
 2y=9y-45
 9y-2y=45
 7y=45
 y=45/7
 x=(45/7-7)/2=45-49/14=-4/14=-2/7
 Reqd. Soln. : x = -2/7
 y = 45/7

You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve the system of equations by the substitution method to get an ordered pair
 y=2x+7
 y=9x+8
 
 y = 2x + 7 ------ eq (i)
 y = 9x + 8 ------ eq (ii)
 2x + 7 = 9x + 8 ------ Substituting 2x + 7 for y in eq (ii)
 Solve for x, then substitute that value for x in any of the 2 equations to determine the value of y.
 You can do the check!!
 If you need a complete and detailed solution, let me know!!
