You can put this solution on YOUR website! The given problem is wrong because if you add both the equations not only do both the variables vanish but you get an afsurdity: 0 = -34 WHICH IS NOT MATH!
Let me give you one corrected version of the problem
3x + y= 18 ----(1)
3x - y= 6 ----(2)
(1) + (2) implies
(3x+3x) = (18+6)
6x = 24
x = 24/6 = 4
x=4in (1) gives
3X(4)+y = 18
12+y =18
y = 18-12 = 6
Answer: x =4 and y=6
Verification:Putting x =4 and y=6 in (2)
LHS = 3x-y = 12-6 =6 =RHS
Therefore our values are correct.
