Answer: x=a,y=b.
Step-by-step explanation: The given system of equations may be written as
x+y−(a+b)=0
ax−by−(a

)=0
By cross-multiplication, we get
−(a

b(a+b)
−y
=
−(a+b)

⇒
−a(a+b)
x
=
−b(a+b)
y
=
−(a+b)

⇒x=
−(a+b)
−a(a+b)
=a and y=
−(a+b)
−b(a+b)
=b
Hence, the solution of the given system of equations is x=a,y=b.
