, your first equation;
, your second equation.
Those already look crazy. Here is another try to understand:
, your first equation;
Simplifying, ;
, your second equation.
Simplifying, .

Continuing with this, these equations are both linear in x and y. That is assuming if a and b are taken as constants.
System is:
--------------------
bx+ay=ab(a+b)
-------------------
b^2x+a^2y=a(ab)^2
--------------------
Maybe use Elimination Method.
, as first equation.
, subtracting first from second.
, the x term has been "eliminated".
-
Next, to solve for x, you could either try elimination of y to solve for x, or you could try substituting what was just found for y into either system equation and solve for x.
-
Here is an attempt substituting.
... and then a bit of further work to simplify this.
-----Interesting result.
