Equation
----------------------------------------------------------
y = 2x + 6 ------------------ (1)
3x - y = 6 -------------------(2)

----------------------------------------------------------
Substitute equation (1) into (2)
----------------------------------------------------------
3x - (2x + 6) = 6

----------------------------------------------------------
Remove bracket
----------------------------------------------------------
3x - 2x - 6 = 6

----------------------------------------------------------
Combine like terms
----------------------------------------------------------
x - 6 = 6

----------------------------------------------------------
Add 6 to both sides
----------------------------------------------------------
x = 6 + 6
x = 12

----------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 12 into equation (1)
----------------------------------------------------------
y = 2 (12) + 6
y = 24 + 6
y = 30

----------------------------------------------------------
Answer : x = 12, y = 30
