Answer:
-6.67 (-20/3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 3y = 4
Therefore, x = 4 and y = 4/3
Substituting these values of x and y into the given equation -
3x + 2a + y
= 3(4) + 2a + 4/3
= 12 + 2a + 4/3
Now, this equation will be equal to 0 as x = 3y = 4 is a solution of the equation.
Therefore, 12 + 2a + 4/3 = 0
2a = -12 - 4/3
Taking LCM = 3
6a = -36 -4
6a = -40
a = -40/6 = -20/3 = -6.67
