Dominick Dudley · Answer 1

a = 10, b = - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

4+2 (5x-8) = ax + b

4 + 10x - 16 = ax + b

10x - 12 = ax + b

Infinitely many solutions when:

a = 10

b = - 12

Lance Mcmillan · Answer 2

a = 10

b = - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

4+2 (5x-8) = ax + b.

4+10x-16 = ax + b

4-16+10x = ax+b

-12+10x = ax+b

10x + (-12) = ax+b

ax = 10x

a = 10

b = - 12
