You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3x-2y%2B3x%2B2y=6%2B18
6x=24
x=4

2y=18-3x
y=%2818-3x%29%2F2
y=%2818-3%2A4%29%2F2
y=6%2F2
y=3

The two equations intersect at (4,3).

Distance Formula or Pythagorean Theorem give distance from Origin,
sqrt%284%5E2%2B3%5E2%29=sqrt%2816%2B9%29=highlight%285%29.
