    Substitute the top equation in as X in the 2nd equation.

    2 (3y-1) + y=12

    Simplify to:

    6y-2+y=12

    7y-2=12

    Add 2 to both sides

    7y=14

    Divide 7 from both sides

    y=2

    Find X by substituting y in the first equation

    X=3 (2) - 1

    X=6-1

    X=5

    x=5 y=2
