Given equations are;<span>
2a + 3b = -1 ..................equation 1
3a + 5b = -2 ....................equation 2</span>
Now multiply equation 1 with (-3)
The equation will be;
-6a -9b = 3 …………………..equation 3
Now multiply equation 2 with (2)
The equation will be;
6a + 10b = -4 ……………..equation 4
Now add equation 3 and equation 4
-6a – 9b = 3
<span>6a + 10b = -4</span>
<span>------------------------------</span>
0a + b = -1
b = -1
Now put the value of b in equation 1
2a + 3(-1) = -1
2a -3 = -1
2a = -1+3
2a = 2
a=1
Thus the solution is (a,b) = (1,-1)

If the line segment point is D(-5, 10) and E(a,b) and the midpoint of the segment is F(13, -2) that mean
DE= 2*DF
You can directly find the distance of AC
Xdf= Xf-Xd= 13 - (-5)= 18
Ydf= Yf - Yd= -2 - 10= -12
Then add the distance of AB( which is 2*AC) to point D
Xe= a = Xd + 2*Xdf
a= -5 +2*18= 31
Ye= b = Yd + 2Yf
b= 10+ 2*-12= -14
<span>absolute difference between a and b:
|b-a|= </span>|-14-31|= 45
Answer:
GK = 9cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of diagonal FH = 9 cm
By the property of a rectangle,
"Lengths of the diagonals of a rectangle measure the same"
FH = GK
Therefore, GK = FH = 9cm
