Question

If (2, 0) is a solution of the linear equation 2x + 3y = k, then the value of k is ______.

Options

• 4

• 6

• 5

• 2

Answer 1

If (2, 0) is a solution of the linear equation 2x + 3y = k, then the value of k is 4.

Explanation:

Since, (2, 0) is a solution of the given linear equation 2x + 3y = k, then put x = 2 and y = 0 in the equation.

⇒ 2(2) + 3(0) = k

⇒ k = 4 

Hence, the value of k is 4.
