I got the answer from meritnation
but one doubt



when we find the value for y 
8/12+6y=1
we will get 2/3+6y=1
how we go 6y=1/3? please explain

Dear Student,
Solution) 
when we are finding the value for y 
8/12+6y=1
we will get 2/3+6y=1 
{8/12 is divided y 4, so we get, 2/3}
now, how we go 6y=1/3? 
just take 2/3 on RHS, it will become, 1-(2/3)
so, on solving and taking LCM
6y=1-236y=3-236y=13Hope you got it dear. Still any doubt,kindly get back to us.Regards!
