y=x+14 line 1

y=3x+2 line 2

These are both the equation of lines written in slope intercept form

y=mx+b where m is the slope and the point (0,b) is the y intercept.

The first line has a slope of m=1. The 2nd line has a slope of m=3

Since these lines have different slopes, they are not parallel, thus they will cross at some point. What you have to determine is where the lines cross, which will be a point (x,y) that is on both lines.

We already have y solved in terms of x from either equation so we can use substitution to solve the system.

Since y=x+14 from line 1, put x+14 in place of y in the equation of line 2.

x+14=3x+2

solve for x.

Subtract x from both sides...

14= 3x-x+2

14=2x+2

subtract 2 from both sides

14-2=2x

12=2x

divide both sides by 2

6=x

We now have the x value of the common point. Plug the value 6 in for x in one of the original equations and solve for y.

y=6+14

y=20

These two lines cross at the point (6,20) which is a point the two lines have in common.

How do you solve this problem?

Very nice problem. You should look up the history of this question. It has a very long one having to do with mirrors made between 50 BC and 50 AD.

Step One
Find AB, BC, AC
Before beginning this problem, I'm going to arbitrarily name 
c = AB
a = BC
b = AC It just makes the calculations easier.

AB = radius of the large circle - radius of the medium circle = 20.62 - 8.04 = 12.58
BC = Radii of the two smaller circles added together = 8.04 + 7.35 = 15.39
AC = Radius of the large circle - Radius of the small circle = 20.62 - 7.35 = 13.27

So
a = 15.39
b = 13.27
c = 12.58

Step Two
Find Angle A or <BAC
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2*b*c * Cos(A)
15.39^2 = 12.58^2 + 13.27^2 - 2 * 12.58 * 13.27 * Cos(A)
236.852 = 158.26 + 176.1 -  333.87 * Cos(A)
236.852 = 334.4 - 333.87*Cos(A)
-97.55 = - 333.87 *  Cos(A) 
-97.55 / -333.87 = Cos(A)
0.2922 = cos(A)
A = cos-1(0.2922)
A = 73.01 degrees

Step Three
Just to see if you understand what was done, I'll give you the givens for finding c, and the answer and you can work through the calculations to see if your answer agrees with mine. If it doesn't PM me.
c = 12.58
b = 13.27
a = 15.39

12.58^2 = 13.27^2 + 15.39^2 - 2*13.27*15.39*Cos(C)
C = 51.42

Step Four
Find <B
Every triangle has 180 degrees so
B = 180 - <A - C
B = 180 - 51.42 - 74.01
B = <54.57. 
I have found a moderator who opened the question up so that I can show you why the Cos law is the only way to do this. If the circles are very disproportionate as in this diagram, then no simple assumption can be made. The cos law is all that will work. I would have posted this earlier, but I didn't think anyone would find another method. It's ingenious but not possible for the situation below.
