    a = 10, b = - 12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    4+2 (5x-8) = ax + b

    4 + 10x - 16 = ax + b

    10x - 12 = ax + b

    Infinitely many solutions when:

    a = 10

    b = - 12

    a = 10

    b = - 12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    4+2 (5x-8) = ax + b.

    4+10x-16 = ax + b

    4-16+10x = ax+b

    -12+10x = ax+b

    10x + (-12) = ax+b

    ax = 10x

    a = 10

    b = - 12
