Question

For what value of 'a' and 'b', the ordered pairs (a+5, b-3)and (2a-2, 2b-8)are equal to each other?

A. a = 1, b = 2
B. a = -3, b = 1
C. a = 0, b = 5
D. a = 2, b = -4

Answer 1

The value of 'a' and 'b' that make the ordered pairs equal to each other are a = 1 and b = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of 'a' and 'b' when the ordered pairs (a+5, b-3) and (2a-2, 2b-8) are equal to each other, we need to set the two expressions equal to each other and solve for 'a' and 'b'.

(a+5) = (2a-2) and (b-3) = (2b-8)

By solving these equations, we can find that a = 1 and b = 2. Therefore, the correct answer is option A: a = 1, b = 2.
