\"\"

\

The system of equations are \"\" and  \"\".

\

\"\"      Equation (1)

\

\"\"      Equation (2)

\

Solve the first equation for a.

\

Apply addition property of equality: Add 3b to each side.

\

\"\"

\

\"\"(Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"      (Apply additive identity property: \"\")\"\"

\

Substitute \"\" in equation (2).

\

\"\"

\

Distribute terms using distributive property: a( b + c ) = ab + ac.

\

\"\"

\

\"\" (Multiply: \"\")

\

\"\"         (Add: \"\")\"\"\"\" (Add 88 to each side)

\

Rearrange the terms using commutative property of addition: a + b = b + a.

\

\"\"

\

\"\" (Apply additive inverse property: \"\")

\

\"\"       (Apply additive identity property: \"\")

\

\"\"                (Add: \"\")

\

\"\"

\

Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by 14.

\

\"\"

\

\"\"                  (Cancel common terms)

\

\"\"                       (Divide: \"\")\"\"

\

Now, find the a value by substituting  \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"          (Multiply: \"\")

\

\"\"                    (Add: \"\")\"\"

\

The system of solution is \"\".
