Hello!

Let's solve this question by using elimination.

5x + 10y = 7

4x + 8y = 3

Let us solve for "y" first by making our "x" variables cancel each other out.

4(5x + 10y = 7)

-5(4x + 8y = 3)

20x + 40y = 28

-20x -40y = -15

0 = 13

Since both the "x" and "y" variables were canceled out after trying to eliminate one of the variables, we can't find a solution since we now have no variables to solve for, therefore there is no solution.

Answer: No solutions

Answer:

a = b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar thus ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{10}{2}$ = $\frac{5}{b}$ ( cross- multiply )

10b = 10 ( divide both sides by 10 )

b = 1

and

$\frac{10}{2}$ = $\frac{5}{a}$ ( cross- multiply )

10a = 10 ( divide both sides by 10 )

a = 1

Thus a = 1 and b = 1
