Answer:
both equations reduce to y = -1/3x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
In each case, subtract the term not containing y and divide by the coefficient of y.
1. 6y = -2x -12 . . . . 12 was subtracted from both sides
y = -1/3x -2 . . . . . . the equation was divided by 6
__
2. 3y = -x -6 . . . . . . x was subtracted from both sides
y = -1/3x -2 . . . . . the equation was divided by 3
