Using substitution:
first you have to express one variable in terms of the other, in this we can express y in terms of x:
y =  \frac{ -  \frac{1}{2} x + 2}{3}  \\ y =  - x + 9

Since both expressions are equal to y, you have to equal both expressions like this:
\frac{  - \frac{ 1}{2}x + 2 }{3}  =  - x + 9
Now you can solve the equation:
-  \frac{1}{2} x + 2 = 3( - x + 9) \\   - \frac{ 1}{2}x  + 2 =  - 3x + 27 \\  \\  -  \frac{1}{2} x + 3x = 27 - 2 \\   \frac{5}{2} x = 25 \\ x =  \frac{(25)(2)}{5}  \\ x = 10
Knowing x=10, you can use any of the expressions we found before to find y. In this case I'm going to use y= -x+9 because it's simpler but boy should give you the same result

y =  - (10) + 9 \\ y =  - 1
So, the answer is x=10 and y=-1

What is the sum of the geometric series: <br>3<br>∑5(-2/3)^i<br>i=0
marta [7]
We use the law of the sum of the 3 first terms of the geometric sequence:
\sum_{i=0}^35\left(\dfrac{-2}{3}\right)^i=5\dfrac{1-\left(\dfrac{-2}{3}\right)^4}{1-\left(\dfrac{-2}{3}\right)}\\=5\dfrac{\left(\dfrac{3^4-2^4}{3^4}\right)}{\left(\dfrac{5}{3}\right)}\\=3\left(\dfrac{65}{81}\right)=\dfrac{65}{27}
