Solution

To solve the system of equations:

  1. Start by eliminating one variable. In this case, we can eliminate the variable "y" by adding the two equations together.

    (x + 3y) + (2x - 3y) = 6 + 12

    Simplifying, we get:

    3x = 18

  2. Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for "x":

    3x/3 = 18/3

    x = 6

  3. Substitute the value of "x" back into one of the original equations to solve for "y". Let's use the first equation:

    6 + 3y = 6

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    3y = 0

  4. Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for "y":

    3y/3 = 0/3

    y = 0

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 6 and y = 0.
