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)

first you turn the fractions into inproper fractions by multiplying the whole number by the denomonator and adding the numerator
4×4=16
16+3=19
19/4
4×7=28
28+1=29
29/7
keep the denomonators the same. now that you've converted them into inproper fractions you can multiply them
19/4 × 29/7=551/28
there is no way to simplify this answer so this is the final answer
