If \(x=a \; (< 0)\) and \(y=b\) are solutions of the simultaneous equations \[2x^2-2y^2+3x-56y=44,\, x^2-y^2+x-29y=22, \] what is the value of \(b-a\)?

Let \(x=\alpha\), \(y=\beta\) and \(z=\gamma\) be the solutions of the simultaneous equations \[\begin{align} x+y-19xy &= 0 \\ y+z-12yz &= 0 \\ z+x-21zx &= 0, \end{align} \] where \( xyz \neq 0\). If the value of \(\alpha+\beta+\gamma\) can be expressed as \(\frac{a}{b}\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are coprime positive integers, what is \(a+b\)?
