Solve the following equations:

1. [tex]\( 2a + 3b = 7 \)[/tex]
What is the value of [tex]\( 6a + 9b \)[/tex]? [tex]\(\square\)[/tex]

2. [tex]\( 6x + 10y = 40 \)[/tex]
What is the value of [tex]\( 3x + 5y \)[/tex]? [tex]\(\square\)[/tex]



Answer :

Let's start solving the questions step by step based on the given equations:

1. Given the equation [tex]\(2a + 3b = 7\)[/tex], we need to find the value of [tex]\(6a + 9b\)[/tex]:

- To obtain [tex]\(6a + 9b\)[/tex] from [tex]\(2a + 3b\)[/tex], we can multiply the entire equation [tex]\(2a + 3b = 7\)[/tex] by 3.
- This gives us:
[tex]\[ 3 \times (2a + 3b) = 3 \times 7 \][/tex]
- Simplifying this, we get:
[tex]\[ 6a + 9b = 21 \][/tex]

So, the value of [tex]\(6a + 9b\)[/tex] is [tex]\(21\)[/tex].

2. Now, let's determine the value of [tex]\(3x + 5y\)[/tex] using the given equation [tex]\(6x + 10y = 40\)[/tex]:

- To obtain [tex]\(3x + 5y\)[/tex] from [tex]\(6x + 10y\)[/tex], we can divide the entire equation [tex]\(6x + 10y = 40\)[/tex] by 2.
- This gives us:
[tex]\[ \frac{6x + 10y}{2} = \frac{40}{2} \][/tex]
- Simplifying this, we get:
[tex]\[ 3x + 5y = 20 \][/tex]

So, the value of [tex]\(3x + 5y\)[/tex] is [tex]\(20\)[/tex].

To summarize, the solutions to the given questions are:

(i) The value of [tex]\(6a + 9b\)[/tex] is [tex]\(21\)[/tex].

(ii) The value of [tex]\(3x + 5y\)[/tex] is [tex]\(20\)[/tex].
