    x = - 1/6

    y = 0

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It can be solved simultaneously

    6x - y = - 1

    6x + y = - 1

    Subtract equation two from equation one

    -2y = 0

    Divide both sides by-2

    y = 0/-2

    y = 0

    Substitute 0 for y in either of the equations to get x

    Using equation one, we have

    6x - 0 = - 1

    6x = - 1

    Divide both sides by 6

    x = - 1/6

    Answer:x=-1/6, y=0

    Step-by-step explanation:

    6x-y=-1 ... (1)

    6x+y=-1 ... (2)

    From (2) make y the subject of formula

    Y=-1-6x ... (3)

    Substitute (3) in (1)

    6x - (-1-6x) = -1

    6x+1+6x=-1

    Collect like terms

    6x+6x=-1-1

    12x=-2

    X=-1/6 ... (4)

    Substitute (4) in (3)

    Y=-1-6 (-1/6)

    Y=-1+1

    Y=0

    Therefore, x=-1/6

    Y=0
