Answer

(-3,-1)

Work Step by Step

$x-6y=3$ $3y=x$ Substitute 3y for x in the first equation. $3y-6y=3$ $\longrightarrow$ simplify $-3y=3$ $\longrightarrow$ divide both sides by -3 $-3y\div-3=3\div-3$ $\longrightarrow$ simplify $y=-1$ Substitute -1 for y in the second equation. $3(-1)=x$ $\longrightarrow$ simplify $-3=x$
