Find the values of a and b for which the system of equations (a + b)x − 2by = 5a + 2b + 1 and 3x − y = 14 has infinitely many solutions.

  • 1

Infinitely many solutions require (a + b)/3 = −2b/(−1) = (5a + 2b + 1)/14. Equating gives a = 5b and 5a − 26b = −1. Substituting a = 5b yields b = 1, which gives a = 5.

  1. For a system to possess infinitely many solutions, the ratio of coefficients must satisfy a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂. Comparing gives (a + b)/3 = 2b = (5a + 2b + 1)/14. From (a + b)/3 = 2b, we get a = 5b. From (5a + 2b + 1)/14 = 2b, we get 5a − 26b = −1. Substituting a = 5b gives 25b − 26b = −1, yielding b = 1 and a = 5.
