Commented by BaliramKumar last updated on 28/Dec/24

I want to find the value of a and b

$${I}\:{want}\:{to}\:{find}\:{the}\:{value}\:{of}\:\boldsymbol{{a}}\:{and}\:\boldsymbol{{b}} \\ $$

a^3 −b^3  = 125  a^2 −b^2  = 25  a+b = 5  a^2  + ab + b^(2 )  = ?

$${a}^{\mathrm{3}} −{b}^{\mathrm{3}} \:=\:\mathrm{125} \\ $$$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} −{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\mathrm{25} \\ $$$${a}+{b}\:=\:\mathrm{5} \\ $$$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+\:{ab}\:+\:{b}^{\mathrm{2}\:} \:=\:? \\ $$

a^2 −b^2 =25⇒(a−b)(a+b)=25  (a−b)(5)=25⇒a−b=5   { ((a+b=5)),((a−b=5)) :}⇒a=5,b=0  a^2 +ab+b^2 =5^2 +5×0+0^2 =25

$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} −{b}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{25}\Rightarrow\left({a}−{b}\right)\left({a}+{b}\right)=\mathrm{25} \\ $$$$\left({a}−{b}\right)\left(\mathrm{5}\right)=\mathrm{25}\Rightarrow{a}−{b}=\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\begin{cases}{{a}+{b}=\mathrm{5}}\\{{a}−{b}=\mathrm{5}}\end{cases}\Rightarrow{a}=\mathrm{5},{b}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{ab}+{b}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{0}+\mathrm{0}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{25} \\ $$

We can also do this,so we get a contradiction.  a^3 −b^3 =(a−b)(a^2 +ab+b^2 )=625  a^2 −b^2 =(a−b)(a+b)=25  a+b=5⇒a−b=((25)/5)=5  ⇒a^2 +ab+b^2 =((625)/5)=125

$${We}\:{can}\:{also}\:{do}\:{this},{so}\:{we}\:{get}\:{a}\:{contradiction}. \\ $$$${a}^{\mathrm{3}} −{b}^{\mathrm{3}} =\left({a}−{b}\right)\left({a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{ab}+{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)=\mathrm{625} \\ $$$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} −{b}^{\mathrm{2}} =\left({a}−{b}\right)\left({a}+{b}\right)=\mathrm{25} \\ $$$${a}+{b}=\mathrm{5}\Rightarrow{a}−{b}=\frac{\mathrm{25}}{\mathrm{5}}=\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +{ab}+{b}^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{\mathrm{625}}{\mathrm{5}}=\mathrm{125} \\ $$

We′ve got 3 equations for 2 unknowns and  all must be satisfied.  (1)     b=5−a  (2)     a^2 =25+b^2        a^2 =25+(5−a)^2        a^2 =50−10a+a^2  ⇒ a=5 ⇒ b=0  (3)     Test a^3 −b^3 =625 ⇒ wrong  ⇒  No solution

$$\mathrm{We}'\mathrm{ve}\:\mathrm{got}\:\mathrm{3}\:\mathrm{equations}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{unknowns}\:\mathrm{and} \\ $$$$\mathrm{all}\:{must}\:\mathrm{be}\:\mathrm{satisfied}. \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right)\:\:\:\:\:{b}=\mathrm{5}−{a} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\:\:\:\:\:{a}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{25}+{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:{a}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{25}+\left(\mathrm{5}−{a}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:{a}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{50}−\mathrm{10}{a}+{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\Rightarrow\:{a}=\mathrm{5}\:\Rightarrow\:{b}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{3}\right)\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{Test}\:{a}^{\mathrm{3}} −{b}^{\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{625}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{wrong} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{No}\:\mathrm{solution} \\ $$

I think that the question has come   before this time also.

A question can not be wrong.  The proposed answers are wrong.
