Find the solution of this system of equations.
separate the x- and y-values with a comma.
x - 2y = -6
x - y = 12

x = 30, y = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x - 2y = - 6 → (1)

x - y = 12 → (2)

Subtracting (2) from (1) term by term will eliminate the term in x

||(x - x) + (- 2y - (- y)) = (- 6 - 12), that is

- y = - 18 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

y = 18

Substitute y = 18 into either of the 2 equations for value of x

Substituting in (2)

x - 18 = 12 ( add 18 to both sides )

x = 30

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
