Answer:

a=2 , b= (-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

8a-4b=20/×(-2)

5a-8b=62

-16a+8b= -40

5a-8b=62

now -8+8=0 right? so the only parameter that we have is a.

-16a+5a= -40+62

11a = 22/(÷11)

a=2

in order to find b, we will replace a with its value in one of the original equations (it doesn't matter which one you will choose).For instance, I chose the first one.

8×2-4b=20

-4b=20-16

-4b=4/÷(-4)

b= -1

5x-25=-10<br><br> Please HELP
solong [7]

Answer:

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand  

5x+25=10

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.  

+5x=+10-25

We simplify left and right side of the equation.  

+5x=-15

or this is another way

Simplifying

5x = 25 + -10

Combine like terms: 25 + -10 = 15

5x = 15

Solving

5x = 15

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3

We divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x.  

x=-3
