The values of a and b are a = 1/2 & b = 1/6 and a = 1/2 & b = 1/9

How to determine the values of a and b

from the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The table of values

Where, we have

a + b = 7/12

a - b = 5/12

Adding the equations, we have

2a = 1

So, we have

a = 1/2

This means that

b = 7/12 - 1/2

b = 1/6

Next, we have

a + b = 11/18

a - b = 7/18

So, we have

2a = 1

a = 1/2

And

b = 11/18 - 1/2

b = 1/9

Hence, the values of a and b are a = 1/2 & b = 1/6 and a = 1/2 & b = 1/9
