The correct Answer is:
To solve the equations \( \frac{2}{x} + \frac{2}{3y} = \frac{1}{6} \) and \( \frac{3}{x} + \frac{2}{y} = 0 \) simultaneously, and then find the value of \( m \) such that \( y = mx - 4 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Solve the second equation for \( y \) From the second equation: \[ \frac{3}{x} + \frac{2}{y} = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{2}{y} = -\frac{3}{x} \] Multiplying both sides by \( y \) and \( x \): \[ 2x = -3y \] Thus, we can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \): \[ y = -\frac{2}{3}x \] ### Step 2: Substitute \( y \) into the first equation Now substitute \( y = -\frac{2}{3}x \) into the first equation: \[ \frac{2}{x} + \frac{2}{3(-\frac{2}{3}x)} = \frac{1}{6} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{2}{x} - \frac{1}{3x} = \frac{1}{6} \] ### Step 3: Combine the fractions To combine \( \frac{2}{x} - \frac{1}{3x} \), we need a common denominator: \[ \frac{6}{3x} - \frac{1}{3x} = \frac{5}{3x} \] So we have: \[ \frac{5}{3x} = \frac{1}{6} \] ### Step 4: Cross-multiply to solve for \( x \) Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 5 \cdot 6 = 3x \implies 30 = 3x \implies x = 10 \] ### Step 5: Find \( y \) using \( x \) Now substitute \( x = 10 \) back into the equation for \( y \): \[ y = -\frac{2}{3}(10) = -\frac{20}{3} \] ### Step 6: Find \( m \) using \( y = mx - 4 \) Now we have \( y = -\frac{20}{3} \) and \( x = 10 \). Substitute these into the equation \( y = mx - 4 \): \[ -\frac{20}{3} = m(10) - 4 \] Rearranging gives: \[ m(10) = -\frac{20}{3} + 4 \] Convert 4 to a fraction: \[ 4 = \frac{12}{3} \] Thus: \[ m(10) = -\frac{20}{3} + \frac{12}{3} = -\frac{8}{3} \] Now, divide both sides by 10: \[ m = -\frac{8}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{10} = -\frac{8}{30} = -\frac{4}{15} \] ### Final Result The value of \( m \) is: \[ m = -\frac{4}{15} \]
