I believe I did this correctly. Comment to tell me if I didn't.

__________________________________

I got infinite solutions.

For the second problem, I subtracted 9 from both sides. Then I divided them all by -1. They are the same equations.

ANSWER

b) infinite solutions

EXPLANATION

The given system is:

x=3y+9 ...(1)

9-x=-3y...(2)

Put equation (1) into equation (2)

This implies that,

9-(3y+9)=-3y

Expand the parenthesis,

9-3y-9=-3y

-3y=-3y

1=1

This implies that, that the system has infinitely many solutions.
