The given equations are:

y = 9 - 3x and x = 8 - 2y

The given equations are simultaneous equations and hence can be solved in this manner.

3x = 9 - y ---------------(1)
x = 8 - 2y ---------------(2)

Multiply eqn (1) by 2 and subtract if from eqn (2)

thus we get:

6x = 18 - 2y

x = 8 - 2y
==============
5x = 10

==> x = 10/5

==> x = 2

By back substitution, we get: y = 9 - 3x

y = 9 - 6

y = 3

Hence, the solution.
