1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to solve the following system of linear equations using either addition or subtraction:
{x+6y=9x+6y=3 \begin{cases} -x + 6y = 9 \\ x + 6y = -3 \end{cases}

2. Solution Steps

We can solve this system of equations using the addition method. Adding the two equations will eliminate the xx variable.
(x+6y)+(x+6y)=9+(3)(-x + 6y) + (x + 6y) = 9 + (-3)
x+x+6y+6y=6-x + x + 6y + 6y = 6
12y=612y = 6
Now, we can solve for yy:
y=612=12y = \frac{6}{12} = \frac{1}{2}
Next, substitute the value of yy into either equation to solve for xx. Let's use the second equation:
x+6y=3x + 6y = -3
x+6(12)=3x + 6(\frac{1}{2}) = -3
x+3=3x + 3 = -3
x=33x = -3 - 3
x=6x = -6
Therefore, the solution is x=6x = -6 and y=12y = \frac{1}{2}.

3. Final Answer

x=6x = -6, y=12y = \frac{1}{2}
