We can eliminate one of the variables to solve for the other variable, as in both equations, y has opposite coefficients. Combine these two equations:

$2x = 246$

Divide both sides by 2 to get x by itself:

$x = 123$

Plug this value into the second equation:

$123 + y = 212$

Subtract 123 from both sides to get y by itself:

$y = 89$
