Its fairly straightforward. Since the bottom equation only has one unknown,x, because y=1.3, you can plug y in and solve for x. Once you find the value of x, you then have the value for two variables, x and y, and again have one unknown coefficient a. To solve for the coefficient you just plug in your y value (1.3) and your x value (which can be rounded to 0.42). Using a little bit of algebra, you can then solve for a which should be a=2.108. I am not sure if your teacher wants you to solve it this way but you could also use the elimination method or substitution method that you would of learned when discussing system of equations. But no matter which way you do it, the math follows the rules. Hope this helps. I’d suggest you solve it yourself to double check my work.

Answer:
a. $45.86
b. $43.87
c. Percentage change = -4.40%)
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Let the price of share at the beginning of first year be represented with X
Now, Price of company's share dropped by 3.50% at the end of first year.
So, Price of share at the end of first year = x - 3.5% of x
= x - 0.035x
= 1x - 0.035x
= 0.965x
But it is equal to $44.25
=> 0.965x = 44.25
x = 44.25 / 0.965
x = 45.8549223
x = $45.86
b. During second year price of share decreased by $1.99. Therefore, Price of share at the end of second year = $45.86 - $1.99 = $43.87
c. Percentage change in the price of shares over two years = {(45.86 - 43.87)/45.86} *100
= (1.99/45.86)*100
= 0.04339294 * 100
= 4.40%
Now, as price of shares has dropped, the percentage change will be negative. (Δ% = -4.40%)
