Answer 2

Given:

• (6,11) is the solution of linear equation x - ay = 17.

⠀

To find:

• Value of a.

⠀

Solution:

• Since (7, 11) is the solution of given linear equation.

⠀

Then,

• x = 6
• y = 11

⠀

Putting the values of x and y in the given equation

⠀

→ 6 - a(11) = 17

⠀

→ 6 - 11a = 17

⠀

→ -11a = 17 - 6

⠀

→ -11a = 11

⠀

→ a = -11/11

⠀

→ a = -1

⠀

We can see that, by putting values of x and y, we get value of a = -1.

⠀

Hence,

• Value of a is -1.
