Solve the following pair of linear equations:
Putting the value of x in (ii), we get
(a + b)x + (a + b) y = a2Â + b2
⇒(a + b) (a + b) + (a + b)y = a2 + b2
⇒    (a + b)2 (a + b)y = a2 + b2
⇒(a + b)y = (a2 + b2) - (a + b)2
⇒ (a + b)y = (a2 + b2) - (a2 + b2 + 2ab)
⇒    (a + b)y = a2 + b2 - a2 - b2 - 2ab
⇒ (a + b)y = - 2ab
Hence,
