The correct Answer is:
To solve the given simultaneous equations and find the value of 'a', we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equations We have the equations: 1. \(\frac{3}{x} - \frac{2}{y} = 0\) 2. \(\frac{2}{x} + \frac{5}{y} = 19\) Let's introduce new variables: - Let \(X = \frac{1}{x}\) - Let \(Y = \frac{1}{y}\) Now, we can rewrite the equations as: 1. \(3X - 2Y = 0\) (Equation 1) 2. \(2X + 5Y = 19\) (Equation 2) ### Step 2: Solve for one variable From Equation 1, we can express \(Y\) in terms of \(X\): \[ 3X = 2Y \implies Y = \frac{3}{2}X \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] ### Step 3: Substitute into the second equation Now, substitute Equation 3 into Equation 2: \[ 2X + 5\left(\frac{3}{2}X\right) = 19 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2X + \frac{15}{2}X = 19 \] ### Step 4: Combine like terms To combine the terms on the left, we can convert \(2X\) into a fraction: \[ \frac{4}{2}X + \frac{15}{2}X = 19 \] This gives: \[ \frac{19}{2}X = 19 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(X\) Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 19X = 38 \implies X = 2 \] ### Step 6: Find \(Y\) Now substitute \(X = 2\) back into Equation 3 to find \(Y\): \[ Y = \frac{3}{2}(2) = 3 \] ### Step 7: Find \(x\) and \(y\) Recall that \(X = \frac{1}{x}\) and \(Y = \frac{1}{y}\): \[ \frac{1}{x} = 2 \implies x = \frac{1}{2} \] \[ \frac{1}{y} = 3 \implies y = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 8: Substitute into the equation for \(a\) We are given the equation \(y = ax + 3\). Substitute \(x\) and \(y\): \[ \frac{1}{3} = a\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + 3 \] ### Step 9: Solve for \(a\) Rearranging gives: \[ a\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{3} - 3 \] Convert 3 to a fraction: \[ 3 = \frac{9}{3} \implies \frac{1}{3} - \frac{9}{3} = -\frac{8}{3} \] Thus: \[ a\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = -\frac{8}{3} \] Multiply both sides by 2: \[ a = -\frac{16}{3} \] ### Final Answer The value of \(a\) is: \[ \boxed{-\frac{16}{3}} \]
