Let’s solve this system of equations. From the first equation, we have x = 6 + 2y. Substituting this into the second equation, we get 1/2(6 + 2y) + 3 = y. Solving for y, we get y = -6. Substituting this value of y into the first equation, we get x = 6 + 2(-6) = -6. So the solution to the system of equations is (x,y) = (-6,-6).
