Question 1040223: Hello,
I need help with the following system of equations problem:
If the system of equations
+6x-4y=a+
+6y-9x=b+
has a solution (x,y) where +x+ and +y+ are both nonzero, find +a%2Fb+, assuming +b+ is nonzero.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a=6x-4y
b=6y-9x
a/b=(6x-4y)/(6y-9x)
2(3x-2y)/(3(2y-3x))
z=3x-2y
2z/-3z=-2/3
a/b=-2/3
