\

The equations are

\

$\"\"$ (equation 1)

\

$\"\"$ (equation 2) $\"\"$

\

Since $\"\"$

\

Rewrite the first equation for x.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 2)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Now Substitute 6 for x in either equation to find the value of y.

\

$\"\"$ (equation 2)

\

$\"\"$ (replace x by 6)

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 6 from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Commutative property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Additive identity property: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 5)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by negative one)

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two same signs is positive)

\

The solution is $\"\"$ $\"\"$
