I prefer to solve by addition/elimination...
I am going to eliminate x so we can find y first.
3x - 6y = 12 --->(2)3x - 6y = 12
-2x + 3y = 6 --> (3)-2x + 3y = 6
-----------------------------
6x - 12y = 24 (result from multiplying by 2)
-6x + 9y = 18 (result from multiplying by 3)
-----------------------------
0 - 3y = 42
-3y = 42
-3y/-3 = 42/-3
y = - 14
