Take the two equations, and line them up with common terms in the same positions:
x - y = 6
x - 2y = 7
In this case, the operation is quite simple because x has no coefficient in either equation. You can simply subtract each term in the latter equation from it's corresponding term in the prior one:
x - y = 6
x - 2y = 7
___________
0 + y = - 1
So we know that y is equal to negative one, and you can solve for x by simply substituting that -1 into either equation:
x - (-1) = 6
x + 1 = 6
x = 5
So x is equal to five, and y is equal to negative one.

What is the GCF x to the second power and y then xy and to the second power?
If that's x2y and xy2, the GCF is xy.
What is the factor of x2y-xyb-abx plus ab2?
(b - x)(ab - xy)
X plus XY equals 8 solve for Y?
x+xy=8 xy=-x+8 y=-1+8/x
How do you solve xy equals 3?
If you're solving for x, then x = 3/y.
What is 4xy plus x3y plus yx2 plus yx plus 3yx simplified?
4xy + x3y + yx2 + yx + 3yx = x3y + x2y + 8xy = (xy)(x2y + x + 8)
What is the GCF of x2y and xy2?
The GCF is xy
What is the greatest common factor of x2y xy2?
To find the greatest common factor of x^2y and xy^2, we need to determine the highest power of each variable that is common to both terms. In this case, the common factors are x and y. The highest power of x that is common to both terms is x^1, and the highest power of y that is common to both terms is y^1. Therefore, the greatest common factor of x^2y and xy^2 is xy.
What is the greatest common factor of x2y and xy2?
xy

What is 4xy plus x3y plus yx2 plus yx plus 3yx simplified?
4xy + x3y + yx2 + yx + 3yx = x3y + x2y + 8xy = (xy)(x2y + x + 8)
What is the greatest common factor of 27x2y3 and 46x2y?
The GCF of 27 x^2 y^3 and 46 x^2 y is xy^2. 27 and 46 are coprime.
Factor X squared y plus axy plus abx plus a squared b?
x2y + axy + abx + a2b Factor by grouping. xy(x + a) + ab(x + a) (xy + ab)(x + a)
What are terms that have the same variable or none?
Not sure that there is any name or description. For example, x2y, xy0.5, xy have the same variables but there is no name that encompasses all three.
