Answer: To solve for the values of a and b, we can use the method of elimination. Adding the two equations together eliminates b, giving us:

(a + b) + (a - b) = 7 + 13

2a = 20

a = 10

Substituting the value of a into one of the original equations, we can solve for b:

a + b = 7

10 + b = 7

b = -3

Therefore, the values of a and b are a = 10 and b = -3.
