Question

In the system if linear equations below a and b are constants.The solution to the systems is 5,1

ax+by=38
bx-ay=8
what are the values of a and b
A=
B=
PLEASE HELPP

Answer 1

Explanation:

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the linear equations..

Here given value of x= 5 and y =1 , so we get as,

5a + b = 38 and 5b - a = 8

so, now we multiply equation no. 2 by 5 all over.

==> 25b - 5a = 40....(1)

hence adding new equation and equation no. 1

26b = 78

b = 78/26

hence b = 3 , and a = 7
