    The answer is A: x=1/2, y = 1/3

    Solve the following system:

    {2 x + 3 y = 2 | (equation 1)

    {6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 2)

    Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

    {6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 1)

    {2 x + 3 y = 2 | (equation 2)

    Subtract 1/3 * (equation 1) from equation 2:

    {6 x + 18 y = 9 | (equation 1)

    {0 x - 3 y = - 1 | (equation 2)

    Divide equation 1 by 3:

    {2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)

    {0 x - 3 y = - 1 | (equation 2)

    Multiply equation 2 by - 1:

    {2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)

    {0 x+3 y = 1 | (equation 2)

    Divide equation 2 by 3:

    {2 x + 6 y = 3 | (equation 1)

    {0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

    Subtract 6 * (equation 2) from equation 1:

    {2 x+0 y = 1 | (equation 1)

    v0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

    Divide equation 1 by 2:

    {x+0 y = 1/2 | (equation 1)

    v0 x+y = 1/3 | (equation 2)

    Collect results:

    Answer: {x = 1/2, y = 1/3
