It's hard to read could you just right the number
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)

To determine the number of those who joined the basketball camp this year, we just have to multiply the number of those who joined last year by the decimal equivalent of the percentage given. That is,
x = 88(1.25)
x = 110
Therefore, there are a total of 110 players for this years basketball camp.
