Step-by-step explanation:
How do I solve x/a + y/b = 2, ax - by = (a^2 - b^2) by the cross multiplication method?

By cross multiplication, do you mean cross multiplication of the coefficients of the variables?
xa+yb=2
ax−by=a2−b2
Rewrite the first equation in a more beautiful form. Multiply it throughout by ab .
bx+ay=2ab
The coefficients of the variables are interchanged between the two equations. I assume that by cross multiplication, you mean making the coefficients equal, so that a simple subtraction of the equations will eliminate a variable.
Multiply the first equation by a and the second by b .
abx+a2y=2a2b
abx−b2y=a2b−b3
Subtract them.
(a2+b2)y=(a2+b2)b
⟹y=b
Substituting this value in any of the above equations will yield the value of x .
bx+ay=2ab
⟹bx+ab=2ab
⟹x=a
