Решение:
\[ a(4) + b(-2) = 5 \]
\[ 4a - 2b = 5 \]
\[ a(4) + 3(-2) = 7 - b \]
\[ 4a - 6 = 7 - b \]
\[ 4a + b = 7 + 6 \]
\[ 4a + b = 13 \]
\[ \begin{cases} 4a - 2b = 5 \\ 4a + b = 13 \end{cases} \]
\[ (4a + b) - (4a - 2b) = 13 - 5 \]
\[ 4a + b - 4a + 2b = 8 \]
\[ 3b = 8 \]
\[ b = \frac{8}{3} \]
\[ 4a + \frac{8}{3} = 13 \]
\[ 4a = 13 - \frac{8}{3} \]
\[ 4a = \frac{39}{3} - \frac{8}{3} \]
\[ 4a = \frac{31}{3} \]
\[ a = \frac{31}{3 \times 4} \]
\[ a = \frac{31}{12} \]
Ответ: $$a = \frac{31}{12}$$, $$b = \frac{8}{3}$$
