  • /| 2*x+y-12 = 0| 3*x-y-13 = 0


  • We try to solve the equation: 2*x+y-12 = 0

  • 2*x+y-12 = 0 // - 2*x-12

  • y = -(2*x-12)

  • y = 12-(2*x)


  • We insert the solution into one of the initial equations of our system of equations

  • We get a system of equations:

  • /| 3*x+2*x-13-12 = 0| y = 12-(2*x)


  • 5*x-25 = 0 // + 25

  • 5*x = 25 // : 5

  • x = 25/5

  • x = 5


  • We insert the solution into one of the initial equations of our system of equations

  • For y = 12-(2*x):


  • y = 12-(2*5)

  • y = 12-10

  • y = 2


  • We get a system of equations:

  • /| y = 2| x = 5

I don't know Melancholy, your original equations are different from the ones in the question.
