Use the required point in both equations, simplify, and solve the resulting system.

A(2)-2B(3)=6
3A(2)-B(3)=-12

System to solve, but...
2A-6B=6
6A-3B=-12

Divide the first by 2, and the second by 3:
System to solve:
A-3B=3
2A-B=-4

Multiply all of the first by 2, subtract the second from the first:
, so you can pick any equation from the simplest system just found and find A. .
