In the system of linear equations below, a and b are constants. the solution to the system is (5,1) ax+by=38

bx-ay=8

what are the values of a and b?
PLEASE HELP

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the linear equations..

Here given value of x= 5 and y =1 , so we get as,

5a + b = 38 and 5b - a = 8

so, now we multiply equation no. 2 by 5 all over.

==> 25b - 5a = 40....(1)

hence adding new equation and equation no. 1

26b = 78

b = 78/26

hence b = 3 , and a = 7

step-by-step explanation:

if x = 2 you have to find x to finish the problem

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.
