Answer:

No solutions

Explanation:

Substitute
3x-9 instead of
into the second equation:

x-(1)/(3)(3x-9)=-3

Use distributive property to open the brackets:

$x-(1)/(3)\cdot 3x+(1)/(3)\cdot 9=-3\\ \\x-x+3=-3\\ \\3=-3$

This equality is false (3 is not equal to -3), so the system of two equations has no solutions.
