    Step-by-step explanation:

    I don't know if this is what you are looking for but, I would use substitution to solve what x and y are

    6x+2y = 1

    is the same as - 6x-2y = - 1 because if you multiply everything by - 1 it will equal

    6x+2y = 1

    so now you have

    6x+2y = 1

    6x+2y = 1

    I would set the equation equal to one variable and substitute.

    6x+2y = 1 = 2y = 1 - 6x = y = (1/2) - (6x/2) = y = (1/2) - 3x

    now plug in (1/2) - 3x in to one of the y's because they are the same equation

    6x + (1/2) - 3x = 1

    subtract 1/2

    6x - 3x = 1/2

    subtract the x's

    3x = 1/2

    now divide both sides by 3

    x = (1/2) / 3

    x = 1/6

    now that you know what x equals, plug that into the equation and find y

    6 (1/6) + 2y = 1

    1 + 2y = 1

    subtract 1

    2y = 0

    now divide to find y

    y = 0/2

    y = 0

    so

    x = 1/6 and y = 0
