Explanation:

6x+3y=54

- 2x+y=18

I'm going to be using the elimination method cause it seems easiest here. so for the elimination method u choose a variable to eliminate I chose y u could do x too if u want to. so first step would be to multiply the second equation by 3. 6x+3y=54

so now u just have to eliminate

6x+3y=54

- 6x+3y=54

because these cancel out the answer would be an infinite solution
