.
We are given

 =         (1)
2a + b = 2.              (2)

Square equation (2). You will get

 = .         (3)

Subtract (3) from (1). Yu will get

 = .         (4)

Simplify (4):

(-7b)*(2a + b) = 16.     (5)

In (5), replace (2a + b) by 2, according to (2). You will get

(-7b)*(2) = 16,

which implies   b = .


From this point please complete the solution on your own.

Solved.
