We have two non-linear equations in x and y.
1/x-2y + 1/2x-y =12
1/x+2y -1/2x+y =6
Which substitution will make both equations equal.
Please solve in steps....

Answer:
multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract from the second equation
2(x - 2y) = 2 * -1, 2x -4y = -2
3y = 9
y = 3
substitute for y in the second equation
2x -3 = 7
2x = 10
x = 5
x = 5 and y = 3
check the answer by substituting for x and y in both given equations
5 -2(3) = -1
-1 = -1
2(5) -3 = 7
7 = 7
