Hey mate!!
Here's your answer
ax/b-by/a=a+b -------------(1)
ax-by=2ab ------------------(2)
Using cross multiplication method we get,
x/(2b²-ab-b²)=y/(-a²-ab+2a²)=1/(a-b)
or, x/(b²-ab)=y/(a²-ab)=1/(a-b)
or, x/(-b)(a-b)=y/a(a-b)=1/(a-b)
Equating the first and the last part,
x/(-b)(a-b)=1/(a-b)
or, x=(-b)(a-b)/(a-b)
or, x=-b
Again equating the last two parts,
y/a(a-b)=1/(a-b)
or, y=a(a-b)/(a-b)
or, y=a
∴, the required solution : x=-b, y=a
