4a - 5b = 74a +5b = 17From the first equation:4a = 7 + 5bsubstitute this value in the second equation:7 + 5b + 5b = 177 + 10b = 1710b = 10b = 1Now,solve for a :4a - 5(1) = 74a = 7 + 54a = 12a = 3
(4, 3)
5b = 21 + 4b 5b - 4b = 21 + 4b - 4b b = 21
b= -162
the answer
5b + 3 = 10 - 3 - 3 5b = 7 5b/5 7/5 b= 1.5 There you go !

Add the equations: 4a + 4a - 5b + 5b = 7 + 17 ie 8a = 24 a = 3, so b = 1
4a - 5b = 74a +5b = 17From the first equation:4a = 7 + 5bsubstitute this value in the second equation:7 + 5b + 5b = 177 + 10b = 1710b = 10b = 1Now,solve for a :4a - 5(1) = 74a = 7 + 54a = 12a = 3
(4, 3)
7b + 16 = 5b + 247b - 5b = 24 - 162b = 8b = 4
5b2 = 8b therefore 5b =8 therefore b = 1.6
5b = 21 + 4b 5b - 4b = 21 + 4b - 4b b = 21
-5b - 6 = -11Add 6 to each side of the equation:-5b = -5Divide each side by -5 :b = 1
b= -162
b=7
