Its fairly straightforward. Since the bottom equation only has one unknown,x, because y=1.3, you can plug y in and solve for x. Once you find the value of x, you then have the value for two variables, x and y, and again have one unknown coefficient a. To solve for the coefficient you just plug in your y value (1.3) and your x value (which can be rounded to 0.42). Using a little bit of algebra, you can then solve for a which should be a=2.108. I am not sure if your teacher wants you to solve it this way but you could also use the elimination method or substitution method that you would of learned when discussing system of equations. But no matter which way you do it, the math follows the rules. Hope this helps. I’d suggest you solve it yourself to double check my work.

Mary has 6 cakes, she gives 3/4 of the cakes away. How many cakes does Mary have?
Answer: Roughly 111.97
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 39 divided by 3 is 13.
2. 4367 divided by 3 is not evenly distributed. Rounding, it would work out to be roughly 1455.66
3. 1455.66 divided by 13 is roughly 111.97 (Again, this does not distribute evenly)
4. To check your work, multiply 111.97 times 13 and you should get somewhere around 1455.66 which is (4367 divided by 3).
Hopefully this helps! Feel free to mark brainliest! :)
