Assuming a,b∈Z (a−b)(a + b) =1× 13=−1×−13 { ((a−b=1)),((a+b=13)) :}⇒a=7,b=6 2a+b=2(7)+6=20 OR { ((a−b=13)),((a+b=1)) :}⇒a=7,b=−6 2a+b=2(7)+(−6)=8 (a−b)(a + b) =−1×−13 { ((a−b=−1)),((a+b=−13)) :}⇒a=−7,b=−6 2a+b=2(−7)+(−6)=−20 OR { ((a−b=−13)),((a+b=−1)) :}⇒a=−7,b=6 2a+b=2(−7)+6=−8

If a,b∈N: 2a+b=2(7)+6=20

$$\mathrm{If}\:\mathrm{a},\mathrm{b}\in\mathbb{N}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{2a}+\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{7}\right)+\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{20} \\ $$
