Answer: x=6 and y=0

Explanation:

The given system of linear equations :-

$x+3y=6-----------------(1)\\\\2x+4y=12--------------(2)$

Multiply 2 on both sides in the first equation , we get

2x+6y=12--------------------(3)

Eliminate equation (2) from equation (3), we get

$2y=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=0$

Put value of y=0 in equation (1), we get

x=6

Hence, the solution of the system = (x,y)=(6,0)
