3x=7y-21, If (0, a) and (b, 0) are the solutions of the given linear equation. Find ‘a’ and ‘b’.

Answer» HEY there !!!

___________________________

===>>>>> Solution

LET first write the given equation in its general form.

ax + by = c .......( linear equation)

Given equation,

3x = 7y - 21

3x - 7y = -21 ..........(general form )

Now, it is given that ...

(0,a) and (b,0) are the solutions of the given equation.


Case (I)
-----------

Compare (0,a) with (x,y) HENCE the value we obtained are ,

x = 0. and y = a

Now,put this values in the given equation we get,

3x - 7y = -21

3*0 - 7*a = -21

0 - 7a = -21

a = -21/-7

a = 3

∴[ a = 3 ]


Case (II)
-----------

Now, compare (b,0) with (x,y) hence the value we obtained are ,

x = b and y = 0

Now, put this value in the given equation we get,

3x - 7y = -21

3*b - 7*0 = -21

3b - 0 = -21

b = -21/3

b = -7

∴ [ b = -7 ]

Let CHECK whether our answer is correct or not .

we know that,

(0,a) and (b, 0) are the solution of the given equation ,

(0,a) = (x,y) = (0,3)

(b,0) = (x,y) = (-7, 0)

1.) Put x = 0 and y = 3 in the given equation

3x - 7y = -21

3*0 - 7*3 = -21

0 -21 = -21

-21 = -21

L.H.S = R.H.S


2.) Put x = -7 and y = 0 in the given equation ,

3x - 7y = -21

3*(-7) - 7*0 = -21

-21 - 0 = -21

-21 = -21

L.H.S = R.H.S
