Answer:

x must equal 5 and y must equal 2

therefore,

5a + 2b = 23 and

5a - 2b = 7.

I'm gonna take 5a + 2b = 23 and add 7 to each side:

5a + 2b + 7 = 30

and substitute 5a -2b in for 7 on the left side:

5a + 2b + (5a-2b) = 30

10a = 30

a = 3

Now we know a. Now take

5a -2b = 7

and substitute in 3 for a

5*(3) - 2b = 7

15 -2b = 7

8 = 2b

b = 4

a = 3 and b = 4
