Description : The point (2,3) lies on the graph of the linear equation 3x - (a -1)y =2a -1. If the same point also lies on the graph of the linear equation 5x + (1-2a)y = 3b, then find the value of b. -Maths 9th
Last Answer : Given, point (2,3) lies on the line. So, the point (2, 3) is the solution of 3x - (a -1) y = 2a - 1 On putting x = 2 and y = 3 in given solution. ∴ 3 2 - (a-1) 3 = 2a - 1 ⇒ 6 - 3a + 3 = 2a - 1 ⇒ - 3a ... 2 2) 3 = 3b ⇒ 10 - 9 = 3b ⇒ 1 = 3b ⇒ 1 / 3 = b Hence, the value of b is 1 / 3.
