I'm not sure what techniques you've been looking at to solve a system like this, but substitution would be a good one to use. Solve one of the equations for one of the variables (pick an easy one). How about using the first equation and solving for x:
6y = x + 18
x = 6y - 18
Now, plug in the expression for x into the other equation:
2y - (6y - 18) = 6
Solve that for y, then use the answer to find x.
