Y > x
y = 2(3+x)
y = 3x-2
------------------------------
2(3+x) = 3x-2
2(3+x) - (3x-2) = 0
6 + 2x -3x + 2 = 0
8 -x = 0
x = 8
---------------------------
y = 2(3+x) = 2(3+8) = 22
y = 3x-2 = 3*8 -2 = 22
----------------------------------
x = 8 ; y = 22


solve for "a", once you get "a", plug it back into either equation to get "b"
Answer:
First you have to multiply negative four in parentheses, then add minus two
-4×(-8+3x)=32-12x
2+32-12x=34-12x
34-12x=82
-12x=48
x=-4
