Answer

x=4,y=6

Steps

Step 1 :12x23y=6 and 14x+13y=1

Step 2 :Multiply the second equation by 2 to make the coefficients of x the same: 12x+23y=2

Step 3 :Add the two equations: 12x23y+12x+23y=62

Step 4 :Simplify: x=4

Step 5 :Substitute x back into the first equation: 12(4)23y=6

Step 6 :Simplify: 223y=6

Step 7 :Subtract 2 from both sides: 23y=4

Step 8 :Multiply both sides by 32: y=6

Step 9 :x=4,y=6
