    x=34/5 y=6/5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    so first you need to isolate one variable in one equation

    so lets use 3x-12y=6

    3x=12y+6

    x=4y+2

    then, as the name implies, we substitute it into the second equation

    3 (4y+2) - 7y=12

    then we simplify

    12y+6-7y=12

    5y=6

    y=6/5

    then we plug it in to find x

    3x-7 (6/5) = 12

    3x-42/5=12

    3x=102/5

    x=34/5

    check work

    3 (34/5) - 12 (6/5) = 6

    102/5-72/5=6

    30/5=6

    6=6
