There are 2 cases to consider: \(a = b + 1 \) and \(b = a + 1\)

 

So, we have 2 systems:

 

\(3a - 4b = 24\)

\(a = b + 1\)

 

AND
 

\(3a - 4b = 24\)

\(b = a + 1\)

 

The solutions for the two systems, respectively in the form of \((a,b)\), are \(\color{brown}\boxed{-20, -21}\) and \(\color{brown}\boxed{-28, -27}\)

Are you sure your question is formatted properly?

 

It just ends with ",and b"...
