Difficulty in calculating equation with unknowns

Question

can you help me solve this one?

$2x+y=32 \\2p+q=17\\y+6q=?$

I got $0=0$ so I guess I failed somewhere on the way.

Answer 1

From the first equation: $$y=32-2x$$ from the second equation: $$ q=17-2p $$

so you can find $$ y+6q=32-2x+6(17-2p) $$
