You can't. From that much information, you can't figure out the values for both 'x' and 'y'.
All you can tell is that whatever they turn out to be:
x = 6 - 3y
and
y = x/3 - 2.
In order to calculate what 'x' and 'y' both are, you need another equation besides
x + 3y = 6.
There's nothing wrong with that one, but you need one more.
You need the same number of equations as the number of unknowns.

How do you solve 2x-y equals -6 and 2x plus 3y equals 9?
2x + 3y = 9x = 3, y = 1 therefore 6 + 3 = 9
Solve for x 2x plus 2y equals 8 3x plus 3y equals 6?
Multiply first equation by 1.5, giving 3x + 3y = 12, but we are told that 3x + 3y = 6. If there isn't an error in the question then 2 = 1!
Can You Solve 2x plus 3y equals 18 and 2x-3y equals -6 Using The Elimination Method?
Yes and it works out that x = 3 and y = 4
2x plus 3y equals 6 solve for x?
this can not be solved un less with another equation
2x plus 3y-5 plus -3y-6 equals?
2x-11
Solve the equation10y equals 6y plus 5 plus 3y?
10y= 6y+5+3y 10y=6+9y y=6
How do you solve the equation 5y equals 3Y plus 12?
5y = 3y + 12 5y - 3y = (3y - 3y) + 12 2y = 12 y = 6
How do you solve 2x-y equals -6 and 2x plus 3y equals 9?
2x + 3y = 9x = 3, y = 1 therefore 6 + 3 = 9
Solve for x 2x plus 2y equals 8 3x plus 3y equals 6?
Multiply first equation by 1.5, giving 3x + 3y = 12, but we are told that 3x + 3y = 6. If there isn't an error in the question then 2 = 1!
Can You Solve 2x plus 3y equals 18 and 2x-3y equals -6 Using The Elimination Method?
Yes and it works out that x = 3 and y = 4
2x plus 3y equals 6 solve for x?
this can not be solved un less with another equation
How do you solve 2x plus 3y equals 6?
by not concentrating on picking your nose when you are in class all day long
2x plus 3y-5 plus -3y-6 equals?
2x-11
What is the solution of x plus y equals -2 and 2x plus 3y equals -9?
x + y = -2 2x + 3y = -9 You solve this by elimination - multiply both sides of first equation by 3, then subtract, solve for x, then substitute in any of the equations to solve for y 3x + 3y = -6 2x + 3y = -9 subtracting, x = 3 substituting into 1st equation, y = -2-3 = -5
How would you solve 6xn plus 7y equals -6 -2x-3y equals 2 using addition method?
6x+7y=-6 3(-2x-3y=2) +________ -2y=0 => y=0 Therefore x=-1
Solve this equation using addition method -8x plus 3y equals -5 and 8x subtract 2y equals 6?
x=1, y=1
Solve the system of equations enter your answer as an ordered pair 6x - y equals 33 6x plus 3y equals 45?
It works out that x = 6 and y = 3 or as (6, 3)
