Two linear equations in the variables, a and b, which may have a point of intersection. That is, a pair of a and b may be a solution to both equations.

.
 2a + 8b = 22,
-2a +  b =  5.

If you need to find the solution of this system of equations, then add these two equations (both sides). 

It will give you an idea what to do next . . .
