Please help me solve this system by multiplying

12x-6y=21
3x+6y=9

now add them up and the y's are eliminated.

Should be easy going from there.
Thank you! So far, i have
12x-6y=21
3x+6y=9
--------
15x 30
---=--
15 15
Y = 2
Is this correct?
correct so far
You have only found the value of y, you still have to find x

sub y = 2 into either of the original equations to find x
