-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
