Given the numerical equation:

6x + 3y = 36

Solve the equation:

We can solve the system of equation by solving x and y separately.

Solve for x.

To solve for x, simply transpose 3y on the other side of the equation, hence we must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

6x = 36 - 3y

Divide both sides by 6 in order to get the value of x.

x = 6 - ½y

Solve for y.

Do the same process in solving for x.

3y = 36 - 6x

y = 12 -2x

Final answer:
x = 6 - ½y
y = 12 -2x
