-2(x + 6y = 1)

2x - 3y = 32
-2x - 12y = -2
- 15y = 30

y = -2

x + 6y = 1
x + 6(-2) = 1
x - 12 = 1

x = 13

solve by elimination

we can see that we can eliminate y from both equations by mulitpying the 2nd equation by 2 and adding them


x+6y=1

4x-6y=64 +

5x+0y=65


5x=65

divide both sides by 5

x=13

subsitute back

x+6y=1

13+6y=1

minus 13 both sides

6y=-12

divide by 6 both sides

y=-2


solution is x=13 and y=-2 or (13,-2) is the solution
