The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the coordinates of the point whose abscissa is the solution of the first equation and ordinate is the solution of the second equation. ### Step 1: Solve the first equation The first equation is given as: \[ \frac{2a}{3} - 1 = \frac{a}{2} \] **Hint:** Start by isolating the variable \(a\). 1. Add 1 to both sides: \[ \frac{2a}{3} = \frac{a}{2} + 1 \] 2. To eliminate the fractions, find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6. Multiply every term by 6: \[ 6 \cdot \frac{2a}{3} = 6 \cdot \frac{a}{2} + 6 \cdot 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4a = 3a + 6 \] 3. Now, subtract \(3a\) from both sides: \[ 4a - 3a = 6 \] Which simplifies to: \[ a = 6 \] ### Step 2: Solve the second equation The second equation is given as: \[ \frac{15 - 4b}{7} = \frac{2b - 1}{3} \] **Hint:** Use cross-multiplication to eliminate the fractions. 1. Cross-multiply: \[ 3(15 - 4b) = 7(2b - 1) \] 2. Distribute both sides: \[ 45 - 12b = 14b - 7 \] 3. Now, add \(12b\) to both sides: \[ 45 = 14b + 12b - 7 \] Which simplifies to: \[ 45 = 26b - 7 \] 4. Add 7 to both sides: \[ 45 + 7 = 26b \] This gives: \[ 52 = 26b \] 5. Finally, divide by 26: \[ b = 2 \] ### Step 3: Find the coordinates Now we have the values: - \(a = 6\) (abscissa) - \(b = 2\) (ordinate) Thus, the coordinates of the point are: \[ (6, 2) \] ### Summary The coordinates of the point whose abscissa is the solution of the first equation and ordinate is the solution of the second equation are \((6, 2)\). ---
