(N/A) Let us draw the graphs of the Equations $(1)$ and $(2).$ For this,we find two solutions for each of the equations,which are given in the tables below:
For Equation $(1): x+3y=6$
$x$$0$$6$
$y = \frac{6-x}{3}$$2$$0$

For Equation $(2): 2x-3y=12$
$x$$0$$3$
$y = \frac{2x-12}{3}$$-4$$-2$

Plot the points $A(0, 2), B(6, 0)$ for line $(1)$ and $P(0, -4), Q(3, -2)$ for line $(2)$ on graph paper. Join the points to form the lines $AB$ and $PQ$.
We observe that there is a point $B(6, 0)$ common to both the lines $AB$ and $PQ.$ Since the lines intersect at a point,the pair of linear equations is consistent. The solution is $x=6$ and $y=0.$
