Answer:
hi!
here is your answer!
we have to use the identity (a+b)^2
(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab
(7)^2=5+2ab
49=5+2ab
49-5=2ab
44=2ab
44/2=ab
22=ab
hope it helps you!

Answer-
We are given that,
a+b= 7 --- (1)
a²+b²= 5 --- (2)
1. Taking equation (1),
a+b= 7
2. Squaring both sides,
(a+b)² = 7²
3. Applying the identity [(x+y)²= x²+ y² +2xy where x= a, y=b]
a²+ b²+ 2ab= 49 {∵ 7²= 7×7= 49}
4. Substituting value of a²+ b² which is equal to 5 {from eq. (2)}
⇒ 5 + 2ab= 49
⇒ 2ab= 49-5
⇒ 2ab= 44
⇒ ab= 44÷2
⇒ ab= 22
∴ Value of ab= 22
