One standard method for solving a pair of linear equations is elimination. Multiply the first equation by sqrt(3) and the second by sqrt(2) (to make x a multiple of sqrt(6) in both equations):




Multiply the first of these equations by 3 and subtract one equation from the other to eliminate x and solve for y:






Substitute that value of y in the original first equation to solve for x:
