Answer:

a = 6, b = - 12

Explanation:

Expand the left side and compare the coefficients of like terms to those on the right side.

a(4x - 10) ← distribute parenthesis

= 4ax - 10a

Compare to 24x + 5b , then

4a = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 6

Then

5b = - 10a = - 10(6) = - 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )

b = - 12
