Question 760707: a+6b=2 , a-3b=-1
Answer by Lavitesh(3) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a + 6b = 2 .....(1)
a - 3b = -1
(-) (+) (+)
_____________
0 + 9b = 3
b = 3/9
b = 1/3 ....(2)
Putting (2) in (1) we get
a + 6(1/3) = 2
a + 2 = 2
a = 0

Therefore a = 0 and b = 1/3
