You can put this solution on YOUR website!   To show this, Let
  ==>
  
  , and 
   Subtracting the 1st from the 2nd, we get
  <==> 9 = 3a - 2ah
 Subtracting the 2nd from the 3rd, we get
  <==> 36 = 12a - 4ah, or 9 = 3a - ah.
 Now we have the equations 9 = 3a - 2ah, and 9 = 3a - ah.
 subtracting the first from the second, we get ah = 0.
 Since
  , we have h = 0. Substituting h = 0 into
  and  , we get 3 = a + k and 12 = 4a + k.
 From this we get a = 3.
 Finally putting h = 0 and a = 3 into
  , we get k = 0.
