3\left(x+y\right)-2\left(x-y\right)=6
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
3x+3y-2\left(x-y\right)=6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+y.
3x+3y-2x+2y=6
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-y.
x+3y+2y=6
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
x+5y=6
Combine 3y and 2y to get 5y.
x=6-5y
Subtract 5y from both sides.
3\left(x+y\right)-2\left(x-y\right)=6
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
3x+3y-2\left(x-y\right)=6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+y.
3x+3y-2x+2y=6
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-y.
x+3y+2y=6
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
x+5y=6
Combine 3y and 2y to get 5y.
5y=6-x
Subtract x from both sides.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{6-x}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{6-x}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
