Answer:
a = 6, b = - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the left side and compare the coefficients of like terms to those on the right side.
a(4x - 10) ← distribute parenthesis
= 4ax - 10a
Compare to 24x + 5b , then
4a = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )
a = 6
Then
5b = - 10a = - 10(6) = - 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )
b = - 12
