Dear Student,
We can solve this pair of linear equations using elimination method
The given equations are:
ax + by = a - b ...................(i)
bx - ay = a + b ...................(ii)
multiplying (i) with b and (ii) with a, we get
bax + b2y = b(a - b) ............(iii)
and
abx - a2y = a(a + b) ..............(iv)
Now, we subtract (iv) from (iii) so that x is eliminated
We get
b2y + a2y = b(a - b) - a(a + b)
(b2 + a2)y = ba - b2 - a2 - ab
(b2 + a2)y = - b2 - a2
= - (b2 + a2)
So we get y = - (b2 + a2)/(b2 + a2) = -1
Substituting this value of y in (i), we get
ax + b(-1) = a - b
ax - b = a - b
i.e. ax = a
which means x = 1
Hence the solution is x = 1, y = -1
