Final Answer: \(\boxed{x = 2, y = 2}\)

Steps

Step 1 :\(\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+2 y=6 \\ 3 x-y=4\end{array}\right.\)

Step 2 :\(\begin{cases} 3(x+2y)=3(6) \\ 2(3x-y)=2(4) \end{cases}\)

Step 3 :\(\begin{cases} 3x+6y=18 \\ 6x-2y=8 \end{cases}\)

Step 4 :Add the two equations to eliminate y:

Step 5 :\( (3x+6y) + (6x-2y) = 18 + 8 \)

Step 6 :\( 9x + 4y = 26 \)

Step 7 :\( 9x = 26 - 4y \)

Step 8 :\( x = \frac{26 - 4y}{9} \)

Step 9 :Substitute the value of x in the first equation:

Step 10 :\( \frac{26 - 4y}{9} + 2y = 6 \)

Step 11 :\( 26 - 4y + 18y = 54 \)

Step 12 :\( 14y = 28 \)

Step 13 :\( y = \frac{28}{14} \)

Step 14 :\(\boxed{y = 2}\)

Step 15 :Substitute the value of y in the equation for x:

Step 16 :\( x = \frac{26 - 4(2)}{9} \)

Step 17 :\( x = \frac{26 - 8}{9} \)

Step 18 :\( x = \frac{18}{9} \)

Step 19 :\(\boxed{x = 2}\)

Step 20 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{x = 2, y = 2}\)
