Answer:

x = 1 and y = 1.5

Explanation:

Given that,

12y-6x=12 ..... 1​

8y+4x=16 ...... 2​

Equation (1) can be written as :

2y-x = 2 ... (3)

Equation (2) can be written as :

2y + x = 4 .... (4)

Adding equation (3) and (4)

2y-x + 2y + x = 2 + 4

4y = 6

y = 1.5

Put y = 1.5 in equation (3).

2(1.5)-x = 2

3-x=2

x =1

Hence, the solution of the above equations are (1,1.5).
