CBSEENMA9002156

 If the point (3, 4) lies on the graph of the equation 3y = ax + 7, find the value of a.

Solution

If the point (3, 4) lies on the graph of the equation
                      3y = ax + 7,  then
                      3(4)  = a(3) + 7
rightwards double arrow                12 = 3a + 7
rightwards double arrow                 3a = 12 - 7
rightwards double arrow                  3a = 5
rightwards double arrow                   straight a equals 5 over 3
