Answers
1/2 x + 1/3 y = 6 ------------------------[ 1 ]
1/3 x + 1/2 y = 13/6 --------------------[ 2 ]
=> Remember that whenever the opposite sides of the both equations are given like 2x +3y and 3x +2y add the terms we get 5x+5y
=> LCM is 6 for these denominators
1/2x + 1/3y = 6
1/3x + 1/2 y = 1/6
--------------------------
3/6x + 3/6y = 37/6
3/6[x+y] = 37/6
x+y = 37*6/6*3
x+y= 37/3
=> Now we should check for x-y by subtracting the same equations
=> LCM is 6 for these denominators
1/2x + 1/3y = 6
[-] 1/3x [-] 1/2y = [-] 1/6
--------------------------
1/6x -1/6y = 35/6
1/6[x-y]= 35/6
x-y= 35*6/6
x-y= 35
=>Now substitute both of them
x+y = 37/6
x-y= 35
-------------------
2x= 247/6
x= 247/3
and y is -142/3
