how do i figure out

3.50a+1.00b=1131

To find the values of 'a' and 'b' in the equation 3.50a + 1.00b = 1131, you need to have another equation involving 'a' and 'b'. This is because you have two variables, 'a' and 'b', but only one equation. Without an additional equation, the system is underdetermined, and we cannot uniquely determine the values of 'a' and 'b'.

However, if you provide another equation involving 'a' and 'b', we can solve the system of equations using different methods like substitution, elimination, or matrix algebra.
