solution by the substitution method:
4x + 3y =9
3y + 6 = x
If you're in college, I suggest you learn to spell C O L L E G E.
that's not very nice! this isn't a spelling contest,so I'm not checking my spelling or worried about it thank you!

I don't remember Algebra problems being there! You must be telling me I'm an idiot! nevermind,I don't need to ask anyone anything in the line of help! I don't know what I was thinking.I should just forget about trying.I'll just keep trying and failing by myself.
no need to throw a hissy-fit.
I also wondered why somebody claims to have a "college Algebra" question and can't spell 'college'
Besides, this is at most a grade 9 type algebra question.
Anyway, why don't you substitute the value of x given in the second equation into the first.
It solves quite easily.
See if you get x=3 and y = -1
