b=0. a=x.
Brute-force on b, while looking for solutions with a restricted to the interval [-1,1] works. And I agree there is more than one solution. The author should specify what is the interval for valid solutions or accept more than one valid answer (which is easy to verify).
Just a heads up - OP expects solvers to use a particular function
