You can clear the denominators, and then, if you know what to do with "linear combinations", you should be find.

(2/3)x+(1/6)y=2/3





The equivalent system is
.

Clearing the fractions in the first equation probably not immediately necessary for linear combinations. Would you form a square all-values matrix multiplied by a column variable matrix and equate this to an all-values column matrix?
