Question

5a-2b = 4; a + 8b = 26 solve simultaneous equation
​

Answer 1

Answer:

a=2,b=3

Step-by-step explanation:

5a-2b=4___(1)

a+8b=26____(2)

solving both equations

5a-2b=4

5a+40b=130(equation 2 multiplying with 5)

_______

-42b=-126

b=(-126)/(-42)

b=3

substituting b value in equation 1 we get

5a-2(3)=4

5a=4+6

5a=10

a=10/5

a=2

Answer 2

Answer:

a+8b=26

5a-2b=4

multiply 5 to (a+8b)

so,

5a+40b=130

5a-2b=4

subtract (sign change)

38b=126

b=3.31

a+8b=130

a+8*3.31=130

a+26.48=130

a=130-26.48

a=103.52
