x%2F3+%2B+y%2F6=1.....(1).....both sides multiply by 6
x%2F2+-+y%2F4=1.....(2).....both sides multiply by 4

%28x%2F3%296+%2B+%28y%2F6%296=1%2A6.....(1)
%28x%2F2%294+-+%28y%2F4%294=1%2A4.....(2)
________________________
2x+%2B+y=6.....(1)
2x+-+y=4.....(2)
___________________....add both (1) and (2)
2x%2Bcross%28y%29%2B2x-cross%28y%29+=6%2B4
4x+=10
x+=10%2F4
x+=5%2F2
highlight%28x+=2.5%29


then go to 2x+%2B+y=6.....(1) and find y
2%2A%282.5%29+%2B+y=6.....(1)
5%2B+y=6
y=6-5
highlight%28y=1%29

check:
would be better and more accurate if we use x+=5%2F2 instead of x+=2.5

x%2F3+%2B+y%2F6=1.....(1)
2.5%2F3+%2B+1%2F6=1
5%2F6+%2B+1%2F6=1
6%2F6=1
1=1

%28x%2F2%29+-+%28y%2F4%29=1.....(2)
%28%285%2F2%29%2F2%29+-+%281%2F4%29=1
5%2F4+-+%281%2F4%29=1
4%2F4%29=1
1=1
