This one is fairly simple algebra. Lets simplify and isolate for x in the first equation:
\(3x + 6y = 69\)
\(x + 2y = 23\)
\(x = 23 - 2y\)
Plug x into the second equation:
\(2x – y = 11\)
\(2(23 - 2y) – y = 11\)
\(46 - 4y - y = 11\)
\(46 - 5y = 11\)
\(46 - 11 = 5y\)
\(35 = 5y\)
\(7 = y\)
The answer is \(y = 7\)
