Step 1.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{x y}{y} = \frac{0}{y}$

$2 x + y = 18$

$x + y = 10$

$x + y = 16$

Step 1.2.1.2

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{0}{y}$

$2 x + y = 18$

$x + y = 10$

$x + y = 16$

$x = \frac{0}{y}$

$2 x + y = 18$

$x + y = 10$

$x + y = 16$

$x = \frac{0}{y}$

$2 x + y = 18$

$x + y = 10$

$x + y = 16$

Step 1.3

Step 1.3.1

Divide $0$ by $y$ .

$x = 0$

$2 x + y = 18$

$x + y = 10$

$x + y = 16$

$x = 0$

$2 x + y = 18$

$x + y = 10$

$x + y = 16$

$x = 0$

$2 x + y = 18$

$x + y = 10$

$x + y = 16$

Step 2.2.1.1

Multiply $2$ by $0$ .

$0 + y = 18$

$x = 0$

$x + y = 10$

$x + y = 16$

Step 2.2.1.2

Add $0$ and $y$ .

$y = 18$

$x = 0$

$x + y = 10$

$x + y = 16$

$y = 18$

$x = 0$

$x + y = 10$

$x + y = 16$

$y = 18$

$x = 0$

$x + y = 10$

$x + y = 16$

Step 2.3

Replace all occurrences of $x$ in $x + y = 10$ with $0$ .

$(0) + y = 10$

$y = 18$

$x = 0$

$x + y = 16$

Step 2.4

Simplify the left side.

Step 2.4.1

Add $0$ and $y$ .

$y = 10$

$y = 18$

$x = 0$

$x + y = 16$

$y = 10$

$y = 18$

$x = 0$

$x + y = 16$

Step 2.5

Replace all occurrences of $x$ in $x + y = 16$ with $0$ .

$(0) + y = 16$

$y = 10$

$y = 18$

$x = 0$

Step 2.6.1

Add $0$ and $y$ .

$y = 16$

$y = 10$

$y = 18$

$x = 0$

$y = 16$

$y = 10$

$y = 18$
