Answer:

<h2>a = -2, b = -2 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-5a+b=8&\text{add}\ 5a\ \text{to both sides}\\7a+9b=-32\end{array}\right\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}b=5a+8&(1)\\7a+9b=-32&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\7a+9(5a+8)=-32\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\7a+(9)(5a)+(9)(8)=-32\\\\7a+45a+72=-32\qquad\text{subtract 72 from both sides}\\\\52a=-104\qquad\text{divide both sides by 52}\\\\\boxed{a=-2}\\\\\text{Put the value of}\ a\ \text{to (1):}\\\\b=5(-2)+8\\\\b=-10+8\\\\\boxed{b=-2}

Fantom [35]

Second question isn't well formatted

Answer:

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 245

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of republicans = x

Number of democrats = x + 38

Total number of representatives from the two parties = 452

Tge number of representatives from each party can be calculated thus ;

Number of democrats + number of republicans = total number of representatives

(x + 38) + x = 452

x + 38 + x = 452

2x = 452 - 38

2x = 414

x = 414 / 2

x = 207

Number of republicans = 207

Number of democrats = 207 + 38 = 245
