Answer

$x=6$, $y=0$

Work Step by Step

$x/6 - y/2 = 1$ $x/3 - y/4 = 2$ $x/6 - y/2 = 1$ $6*(x/6 - y/2) = 6*1$ $x - 3y=6$ $x/3 - y/4 = 2$ $12*(x/3 - y/4) = 12*2$ $4x-3y=24$ $x - 3y=6$ $4x-3y=24$ $x - 3y=6$ $x - 3y+3y=6+3y$ $x=6+3y$ $4x-3y=24$ $4(6+3y)-3y=24$ $24+12y-3y=24$ $24+9y=24$ $24+9y-24=24-24$ $9y=0$ $9y/9=0/9$ $y=0$ $x-3y=6$ $x-3*0=6$ $x-0=6$ $x=6$
