Hello!
In a really simple way, 3 times our answer is 19. We can just divide to find it.
19/3= 6 1/3
Anyway, it might be nice to solve the equation for b. If a=6, then b has to be 1/3, but let's check.
18+3b=19
3b=1
b=1/3
Therefore, a+b= 6 1/3
I hope this helps!

Answer:
(2, - 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = - 3x + 3 → (2)
y = - 9x + 15 → (2)
Substitute y = - 3x + 3 into (2)
- 3x + 3 = - 9x + 15 ( add 9x to both sides )
6x + 3 = 15 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
y = - 3(2) + 3 = - 6 + 3 = - 3
solution is (2, - 3 )
