let's multiply both sides in each equation by the LCD of all fractions in it, thus doing away with the denominator.

$\begin{cases} \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y&=7\\\\ \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y&=6 \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{6}}{6\left( \cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{1}{3}y \right)=6(7)}\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{12}}{12\left( \cfrac{1}{4}x+\cfrac{2}{3}y\right)=12(6)} \end{cases}\implies \begin{cases} 3x+2y=42\\ 3x+8y=72 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{using elimination}}{ \begin{array}{llll} 3x+2y=42&\times -1\implies &\begin{matrix} -3x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~-2y=&-42\\ 3x+8y-72 &&~~\begin{matrix} 3x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~+8y=&72\\ \cline{3-4}\\ &&~\hfill 6y=&30 \end{array}} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{30}{6}\implies \blacktriangleright y=5 \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{substituting \underline{y} on the 1st equation}~\hfill }{3x+2(5)=42\implies 3x+10=42}\implies 3x=32 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{32}{3}\implies \blacktriangleright x=10\frac{2}{3} \blacktriangleleft \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \left(10\frac{2}{3}~~,~~5 \right)~\hfill$

If X and Y are independent continuous positive random

Leni [432]

a) $Z=\frac XY$ has CDF

$F_Z(z)=P(Z\le z)=P(X\le Yz)=\displaystyle\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}P(X\le yz\mid Y=y)P(Y=y)\,\mathrm dy$

$F_Z(z)\displaystyle=\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}P(X\le yz)P(Y=y)\,\mathrm dy$

where the last equality follows from independence of $X,Y$ . In terms of the distribution and density functions of $X,Y$ , this is

$F_Z(z)=\displaystyle\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}F_X(yz)f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy$

Then the density is obtained by differentiating with respect to $z$ ,

$f_Z(z)=\displaystyle\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dz}\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}F_X(yz)f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy=\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}yf_X(yz)f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy$

b) $Z=XY$ can be computed in the same way; it has CDF

$F_Z(z)=P\left(X\le\dfrac zY\right)=\displaystyle\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}P\left(X\le\frac zy\right)P(Y=y)\,\mathrm dy$

$F_Z(z)\displaystyle=\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}F_X\left(\frac zy\right)f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy$

Differentiating gives the associated PDF,

$f_Z(z)=\displaystyle\int_{\mathrm{supp}(Y)}\frac1yf_X\left(\frac zy\right)f_Y(y)\,\mathrm dy$

Assuming $X\sim\mathrm{Exp}(\lambda_x)$ and $Y\sim\mathrm{Exp}(\lambda_y)$ , we have

$f_{Z=\frac XY}(z)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty y(\lambda_xe^{-\lambda_xyz})(\lambda_ye^{\lambda_yz})\,\mathrm dy$

$\implies f_{Z=\frac XY}(z)=\begin{cases}\frac{\lambda_x\lambda_y}{(\lambda_xz+\lambda_y)^2}&\text{for }z\ge0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

and

$f_{Z=XY}(z)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty\frac1y(\lambda_xe^{-\lambda_xyz})(\lambda_ye^{\lambda_yz})\,\mathrm dy$

$\implies f_{Z=XY}(z)=\lambda_x\lambda_y\displaystyle\int_0^\infty\frac{e^{-\lambda_x\frac zy-\lambda_yy}}y\,\mathrm dy$

I wouldn't worry about evaluating this integral any further unless you know about the Bessel functions.
