Seems like you did a mistake, its a + b = -13 as there isn't any difference between ab and a × b. And if it is,
here is your solution -
Ginven,
a+b = -13
So, a = -13 - b
here, ab= 36
Then, a =36 / b
Hence, 36 / b = - 13 - b
36 = (-13 - b ) b
36 = - 13 b - b²
=> b² + 13 b +36 =0
=> b² + 9b + 4b + 36 = 0
=> b (b + 9) + 4 (b + 9) = 0
=> (b + 9) (b + 4) = 0
b= -9 or b= -4
So,
b = -9 then a = - 4 or
b = - 4 then a = - 9
hope it helps!!

b= -9 or b= -4
