Solve the system of linear equations by substitution.

Solve the second equation for \( x \).

The second equation is \( x - 9 = -1 \). Add 9 to both sides to solve for \( x \): \[ x - 9 + 9 = -1 + 9 \implies x = 8. \]

Substitute \( x = 8 \) into the first equation to solve for \( y \).

The first equation is \( 2x - y = 23 \). Substitute \( x = 8 \): \[ 2(8) - y = 23 \implies 16 - y = 23. \] Subtract 16 from both sides: \[ -y = 7 \implies y = -7. \]

The solution to the system is \( \boxed{x = 8, y = -7} \).

The solution to the system is \( \boxed{x = 8, y = -7} \).
