x - 3y = 12 ----------- [ 1 ]
x - 9y = -24 --------- [ 2 ]
*Here you need to decide if you want to "+" or "-" the 2 equations. In this case, since you are trying to eliminate "x", we will subtract:
[ 1 ] - [ 2 ] :
(x - 3y) - (x - 9y) = 12 - (-24)
x - 3y - x + 9y = 12 + 24
*You made a mistake here 12 - (-24) will give you 12 + 24 = 36
6y = 36
y = 6
