$x - y = 9$ , $x + y = 6$

Add $y$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = 9 + y$

$x + y = 6$

Replace all occurrences of $x$ in $x + y = 6$ with $9 + y$

$x = 9 + y$

$(9 + y) + y = 6$

Solve for $y$ in the second equation.

Subtract $9$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = 9 + y$

$2 y = 6 - 9$

Subtract $9$ from $6$ .

$x = 9 + y$

$2 y = - 3$

$x = 9 + y$

$2 y = - 3$

Divide each term by $2$ and simplify.

Cancel the common factor.

$x = 9 + y$

$\frac{2 y}{2} = \frac{- 3}{2}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$x = 9 + y$

$y = \frac{- 3}{2}$

$x = 9 + y$

$y = \frac{- 3}{2}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x = 9 + y$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

$x = 9 + y$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

$x = 9 + y$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

Replace all occurrences of $y$ in $x = 9 + y$ with $- \frac{3}{2}$

$x = 9 - \frac{3}{2}$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

Simplify $9 - \frac{3}{2}$ .

Remove parentheses.

$x = 9 - \frac{3}{2}$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

To write $\frac{9}{1}$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$x = \frac{9}{1} \cdot \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2}$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

Write each expression with a common denominator of $2$ , by multiplying each by an appropriate factor of $1$ .

Combine.

$x = \frac{9 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} - \frac{3}{2}$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

Multiply $2$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{9 \cdot 2}{2} - \frac{3}{2}$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

$x = \frac{9 \cdot 2}{2} - \frac{3}{2}$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$x = \frac{9 \cdot 2 - 3}{2}$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

Simplify the numerator.

Multiply $9$ by $2$ .

$x = \frac{18 - 3}{2}$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

Subtract $3$ from $18$ .

$x = \frac{15}{2}$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

$x = \frac{15}{2}$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

$x = \frac{15}{2}$

$y = - \frac{3}{2}$

The solution to the system of equations can be represented as a point.

$(\frac{15}{2}, - \frac{3}{2})$

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Point Form:

$(\frac{15}{2}, - \frac{3}{2})$

Equation Form:

$x = \frac{15}{2}, y = - \frac{3}{2}$
