Answer:
a=1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-3y=5
2x-3y=5x=3,y=a
2x-3y=5x=3,y=a 2(3)-3(a)=5
2x-3y=5x=3,y=a 2(3)-3(a)=56-3a=5
2x-3y=5x=3,y=a 2(3)-3(a)=56-3a=5-3a=5-6
2x-3y=5x=3,y=a 2(3)-3(a)=56-3a=5-3a=5-6-3a=-1
2x-3y=5x=3,y=a 2(3)-3(a)=56-3a=5-3a=5-6-3a=-1a=1/3

Given :
- Equation :- 2x - 3y = 5
To Find :
- Value of a = ?
Answer :
Since we are given the equation of line is :
- 2x - 3y = 5
And in the question it is said to find the value of 'a' such that the point (3,a) lies on the line.
So, for the point to lie on the line, the point must satisfy the equation.
So, we will substitute the value of x = 3 and y = a in given equation :
→ 2x - 3y = 5 ....[Given equation]
→ 2(3) - 3(a) = 5
→ 6 - 3a = 5
Substracting 6 from both the sides we get :
→ -3a = -1
Now, divide both the sides by -3 we get :
→ a = -1 ÷ -3
→ a = 1 ÷ 3
- Hence, the value of a is 1/3 .
