Answer

$\{(0,1)\}$

Work Step by Step

The system of equations are written as: $2x+6y=6 ~~~(1) \\ 5x+9y=9 ~~~(2)$ Equation -(1) yields: $x=3-3y ~~~~(3)$ Plug $x=3-3y$ into the second equation and then solve for $y$ to obtain: $5(3-3y)+9y=9 \\ 15-15y+9y= 9 \\ y=1$ Back substitution for $y=1$ in equation-3 to obtain: $x=3-3=0$ Solution set: $\{(0,1)\}$
