.

The simplest way to solve the problem is to make at least one term identical in both equations.


For it, multiply first equation by 2, keeping second equation as is.  You will get


    2Ax + 6y = B

     2x + 6y = 14.


If we want these two equations produce the same graph, the necessary and sufficient condition is


    2A = 2  and  B = 14.


ANSWER.  A = 1;  B = 14.

Solved.
