You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve as a system, y = x + 6 with 2x + 3y = 24 to find intersection point.
Solve as a system, y = 3x with x + 2y = 8 to find their intersection point.

Use the two points to find equation of the line containing these two points.


------

Omitting the steps here, the intersection point of first pair of equations is (6/5,36/5); and intersection point of the second pair of equation is (8/7,24/7).
Slope for these two points will be found as 66.

You can continue, writing equation as y-24%2F7=66%28x-8%2F7%29, and then simplify, putting into whatever form you need or want to.
