1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of linear equations:
$$\frac{x}{6} - \frac{y}{2} = \frac{1}{6}$$
$$\frac{3}{4}x - y = 2$$
2. **Rewrite the first equation to clear denominators:** Multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate fractions:
$$6 \times \left(\frac{x}{6} - \frac{y}{2}\right) = 6 \times \frac{1}{6}$$
$$x - 3y = 1$$
3. **Rewrite the second equation for clarity:**
$$\frac{3}{4}x - y = 2$$
4. **Express the system now as:**
$$\begin{cases} x - 3y = 1 \\ \frac{3}{4}x - y = 2 \end{cases}$$
5. **Solve the first equation for $x$:**
$$x = 1 + 3y$$
6. **Substitute $x = 1 + 3y$ into the second equation:**
$$\frac{3}{4}(1 + 3y) - y = 2$$
7. **Distribute $\frac{3}{4}$:**
$$\frac{3}{4} + \frac{9}{4}y - y = 2$$
8. **Combine like terms for $y$:**
$$\frac{9}{4}y - y = \frac{9}{4}y - \frac{4}{4}y = \frac{5}{4}y$$
So the equation becomes:
$$\frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{4}y = 2$$
9. **Isolate $y$:**
$$\frac{5}{4}y = 2 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5}{4}$$
10. **Divide both sides by $\frac{5}{4}$:**
$$y = \frac{\frac{5}{4}}{\frac{5}{4}} = \cancel{\frac{5}{4}} \times \frac{4}{\cancel{5}} = 1$$
11. **Substitute $y=1$ back into $x = 1 + 3y$:**
$$x = 1 + 3(1) = 4$$
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{(x, y) = (4, 1)}$$
