Answer:

x = -30

y = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 12y = 210..... (I)

x - 6y = 90..... (II)

Subtract equation (II) from (I)

- 12y - (-6y) = 210 - 90

-12y + 6y = 120

-6y = 120

Divide through by -6y

Therefore, y = -20

Substitute y = -20 in equation (II)

x -6 (-20) = 90

x + 120 = 90

x = 90 - 120

x = -30
