As shown in the model below, there are three lines.

First we'll multiply the second equation by -2

Now let's add the new equation and the first one.

We found y's value. We'll plug it in one of the equations to find x's value.

Solution ;
(9, -6)
Answer: a=-0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
14a - (2a +9)=2/3 (12a-18)
14a - 2a -9=2/3 * 6(2a-3)
12a-9=2*6/3 (2a-3)
12a-9=2*2(2a-3)
12a-9=4(2a-3)
12a-9=8a-12
4a-9=-12
4a=-3
a=-3/4
a=-0.75





//
If the 3 is an exponent, then the person above me is right.
Answer:
The answer is 14.86. I hope that this helps
