    country a = 19,812 cars

    country b = 6,604 cars

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a = country a

    b = country b

    the 2 eqations are:

    a + b = 26,416

    a = 3b

    now substitute 3b for a in the first equation:

    3b + b = 26,416

    add the variables:

    4b = 26,416

    now divide 26,416 by 4 (26,416/4)

    b = 6,604

    so country b has 6,604 cars

    to find country b, substitute the number of cars in country b (which is 6,604) in the second equation:

    a = 3b

    a = 3 * 6,604

    a = 19,812

    so country a has 19,812 cars
