The system of equations are $\"\"$ .

Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient of the x - variables are 6 and 2 and their least common multiple is 6, so multiply each equation by the value that will make the x - coefficient 6.

To get two equations that contain opposite terms multiply the second equation by negative 3.

Write the equations in column form and add the corresponding columns to eliminate x - variable.

$\"\"$ $\"\"$

The resultant equation is $\"\"$ and solve for y.

Divide each side by negative 24.

$\"\"$

Cancel common terms.

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

Substitute the value of $\"\"$ in either of the original equations and solve for x.

The equation 1: $\"\"$ .

$\"\"$

Subtract 9 from each side.

$\"\"$

Divide each side by 6.

$\"\"$

$\"\"$ . $\"\"$

The solution is $\"\"$ .
