If a and b are positive numbers such that ab equals ba and b equals 9a then find the value of a?
With the information given in the question, we can't find the value of either 'a' or 'b' yet,
because there's really only one equation given so far.
The statement "ab = ba" is an "identity", not an equation. It's simply a statement of the
commutative property of multiplication, and it's true for all values of 'a' and/or 'b'. There's
no information in it.

When adding positive 9 and negative 6, we can think of it as combining two numbers with opposite signs. To find the sum, we subtract the absolute value of the smaller number from the absolute value of the larger number. In this case, the absolute value of 9 is 9, and the absolute value of 6 is 6.
