Question

if x=-3 and y=-1/2 then find the value of ax-2y=5​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\\ x = - 3 \\ y = - \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ ax - 2y = 5 \\ a( - 3 ) - 2( - \frac{1}{2} ) = 5 \\ - 3a + 1 = 5 \\ - 3a = 4 \\ a = \frac{ - 4}{3}$

Answer 2

Answer:

4/-3 is the required answer

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

x=-3 and y=-1/2

putting the value of x and y we get

a(-3) -2(-1/2) = 5

-3a=5-1

=> a=4/-3
