Answer:
12=12
Step-by-step explanation:
2a = b
a -3b =12
To solve, set one of the equations equal to zero. The first equation is actually already set to 0.
b = 2a
Now you can plug this equation into the other one, by substituting the b in the equation with this.
a -3b = 12
a – 3(2a) = 12
Now all you have to do is distribute the 3 (multiply the number outside the parenthesis, 3 in this case, by everything inside).
a – 6a = 12
Combine like terms. Since we have 1 positive a and 6 negative ones, we subtract the two numbers without the signs
6-1 = 5
And take the sign of the larger number. Since 6 is large and 6 is negative, we are left with
-5a = 12
Now solve for a, which in this case means dividing both sides by -5
a = -12/5
Simplify
a = -2.4
Now that you have a, it’s easy to find b
b = 2a
b = 2(-2.4)
b= -4.8
Now you check your work by plugging your new a and b into either equation to see if it’s true.
-4.8 = 2(-2.4)
-4.8 = -4.8
And just for laughs let’s try the other equation
a -3b =12
-2.4 – 3(-4.8) = 12
Distribute the 3 again. Remember that when two negative numbers are multiplied they become positive.
-2.4 +14.4 = 12
12 = 12
I don't know about how to put that in standard form, but an equation has to have an equals sign... So, that would be an equation.

Substituting this into the other ODE gives
