If x = − 2Y = 1 is the solution of the system ax + by = 1bx + ay = 7, then the value of (a + b) · (a-b) is () A. -353B. 353C. -16D. 16

If x = − 2Y = 1 is the solution of the system ax + by = 1bx + ay = 7, then the value of (a + b) · (a-b) is () A. -353B. 353C. -16D. 16

Substituting x = - 2, y = 1 into the original equations, we get − 2A + B = 1 − 2B + a = 7, and the solution is a = − 3B = − 5.; (a + b) (a-b) = - 16
