We need to solve the following system using substitution:

{x9=0.5y2.2x3.1y=0.2\left\{\begin{aligned}x-9&=0.5y\\2.2x-3.1y&=-0.2\end{aligned}\right.

To solve a system using the substitution method, solve one of the equations for a variable and then substitute it into the other equation to write a new equation. Solve the new equation and then substitute the value you found into one of the original equations to solve for the other variable.
