If we have

y = 6x + 1 and x - y = 11, we can take advantage of y - y = 0 as follows:
Subtract x from both sides of the 2nd equation:
-y = 11 - x

Now combine

y = 6x + 1
-y = 11 - x
--------------
0 = 5x + 12. Solving for x, x = -12/5. Using the equation above, find y:
-y = 11 - x
= 11 - (-12/5)
= 55/5 + 12/5 = 67/5

Then the solution is (-12.5, 67/5).
