To solve the simultaneous linear equations, we first rewrite the second equation:

2y + 3y = 2
5y = 2
y = 2/5

Now we substitute y = 2/5 into the first equation:

6x - 2(2/5) = 6
6x - 4/5 = 6
6x = 6 + 4/5
6x = 30/5 + 4/5
6x = 34/5
x = 34/5 * (1/6)
x = 34/30
x = 17/15

Therefore, the solutions to the simultaneous linear equations are:
x = 17/15
y = 2/5
Are you sure?
My apologies for the error in my calculations. Let me correct it:

Given equations:
6x - 2y = 6
2y + 3x = 2

Let's start by adding the two equations together to eliminate y:
6x - 2y + 2y + 3x = 6 + 2
9x = 8
x = 8/9

Now, substitute x back into the first equation to solve for y:
6(8/9) - 2y = 6
48/9 - 2y = 6
2y = 48/9 - 6
2y = 48/9 - 54/9
2y = -6/9
y = -3/4

Therefore, the correct solutions to the simultaneous linear equations are:
x = 8/9
y = -3/4
Are you sure for the last time?
Let's solve this again:

Given equations:
6x - 2y = 6
2y + 3x = 2

Let's first add the equations to eliminate y:
6x - 2y + 2y + 3x = 6 + 2
9x = 8
x = 8/9

Now, substitute x back into the second equation to solve for y:
2y + 3(8/9) = 2
2y + 24/9 = 2
2y = -24/9 + 18/9
2y = -6/9
y = -3/4

Therefore, the correct solutions to the simultaneous linear equations are:
x = 8/9
y = -3/4
