So to solve for y, we need to get y alone on one side of the equation. So we are going to subtract 9x from both sides of the equation to get:

And since y is negative, we are going to divide both sides by -1 in order to make the y positive:

Answer:
Area = 36 
Step-by-step explanation:
There must be an error with the statement, because it is strange that the length of the frame is equal to its thickness.
Assuming that the data supplied is correct, we can do the following procedure.
Let's call L the length of the frame.
We know how much each side of the square measures.
L = 3 inches
We also know that the thickness (s) is:
s = 3 inches.
Then the area of the frame is equal to:
Area = Perimeter * thickness
Area = 4L*s
Area = 3*4*3
Area = 36
