    A-4b=4b

    a=8b

    Plug it in:

    24b+4b=21

    28b=21

    b=21/28

    a=8b=6.

    Using the 2nd and 3rd you have:

    4a-4b=21

    4a=21+4b

    a = (21+4b) / 4

    now using 1st and 2nd

    3 (21+4b) / 4+4b=4 (21+4b) / 4-4b

    (63+12b+16b) / 4 = (84+16b-16b) / 4

    63+28b=84

    28b=21

    b=21/28

    b=3/4

    ... now using 4a-4b=21 we have

    4a-4 (3/4) = 21

    4a=3=21

    4a=24

    a=6
