2x - 6y = 6
2x + 3y = 24 multiply second one by 2 and add to first
**************
2x - 6y = 6
4x + 6y = 48
*************
6x=54 divide each side by 6
x=9 plug this into either of the original equations and solve for y
2*9-6y=6
18-6y=6
-6y=-12
y=2
so the solution is (9,2)

Hi

Solving using the elimination Method

2x - 6y = 6  Green

2x + 3y = 24 Blue



-2x + 6y = -6  ||Multiplying 1st EQ thru by -1 to eliminate x

 2x + 3y = 24

     9y = 18

      y = 2 and x = 9  ( 2x - 6y = 6,  x = 18/2)

Ordered pair (9,2) is the solution for this system
