-6x+y=0
9x-12y=2
-----------
Multiply 1st by 12 to get:
-72x + 12y = 0
9x - 12y = 2
-----------------
Add to solve for "x":
-63x = 2
x = -(-/63)
--------------
Substitute into y = 6x to solve for "y":
y = 6(-2/63) = -12/63
-------------------------
Ordered Pair: (-2/63,-12/63)

Start with the given system of equations:
Multiply the both sides of the first equation by 12.
Distribute and multiply.
So we have the new system of equations:
Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:
Group like terms.
Combine like terms.
Simplify.
Divide both sides by to isolate .
Reduce.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Now go back to the first equation.
Plug in .
Multiply.
Multiply both sides by the LCD to clear any fractions.
Distribute and multiply.
Subtract from both sides.
Combine like terms on the right side.
Divide both sides by to isolate .
Reduce.
==================================
Answer:
So the solutions are and
which form the ordered pair
