Set them into slope-intercept forms of equations then set those equations equal to each other and solve for x and y. y = 34x - 5 and y = -14x+3. Set those equal to each other, solve for x to get x = 1/6. Sub in that x value to get y = 2/3. The point where they intersect is the solution of the system; in other words, where on both lines we have the exact same (x, y) value.
Fractions need common denominator to add or subtract them because without denominators a fraction is not a fraction, it is a whole number
Example - 2/8 is a fraction
but 2 is not a fraction

Answer: 9</h3>
================================================
Work Shown:
a = unknown = leg #1
b = 12 = leg #2
c = 15 = hypotenuse
Plug those values into the pythagorean theorem and solve for 'a'
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + (12)^2 = (15)^2 .... substitution
a^2 + 144 = 225
a^2 = 225 - 144 ... subtracting 144 from both sides
a^2 = 81
a = sqrt(81) .... applying square root to both sides
a = 9
