Answer:

a=41  b=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

By expanding the brackets on the left hand side of the equation you get,35x + 40 + 6x + 3b and by simplifying you get 41x + 40 + 3b.by comparing the x and constant terms on either side you find that a = 41, and3b + 40 = 13, rearranging b = -9.

Answer:

Hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to use identification of terms.

[tex]5(7x+8)+3(2x+b)=ax+13\\\\35x+40+6x+3b=ax+13\\\\41x+40+3b=ax+13\\\\\\\Longrightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a&=&41\\3b+40&=&13\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\Longrightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a&=&41\\b&=&-9\\\end{array}\right.\\\\[/tex]
