plug in 3 instead of b, into `a+b=9`
solve for a.
multiply the result times 4, to get the value of `4a`
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
can you do step 1? what do you get after you do step 1 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i really mixed it up im sory i need help!
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
\(\Large\color{blue}{ a + b = 9 }\)
you are given that \(\Large\color{blue}{ b = 3 }\)
So,
••••
\(\Large\color{blue}{ a + b = 9 }\)
\(\Large\color{blue}{ a + \color{red}{ 3 } = 9 }\) (plugged in 3 for x)
\(\Large\color{blue}{ a + 3 = 9 }\)
\(\Large\color{blue}{ a + 3 \color{red}{ - 3 } = 9 \color{red}{ -3 } }\)
\(\Large\color{blue}{ a = 6}\)
