Step-by-step 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
C= two step equations require all number to be whole number in order to solve.
Here is an example that disproves that:
.5x + 8= 18
<u> -8 -8</u>
<u>.5</u>x = <u>10
</u>.5 .5
x = 20 (.5 is certainly not a whole number but I solved it anyway)
The above questions answer is 8 and 14
