Use cross multiplication, do it step by step so don't make any mistake.
(a-b)x + (a+b)y = a2 - 2ab - b2
(a+b)x + (a+b)y = a2 + b2
Subtracting the two equations,
(a-b)x - (a+b)x = (a2 - 2ab - b2)-(a2 + b2)
-2bx = -2ab-2b2
x = a+b
Use this in the given equations,
(a+b)x + (a+b)y = a2 + b2
(a+b)(a+b) + (a+b)y = a2 + b2
a2 + 2ab + b2 + (a+b)y = a2 + b2
y = -2ab/(a+b)
