JEE Main 2022 · 28 Jun · Shift 2, Mathematics question 26

If the system of linear equations
2x−3y=γ+5,2x-3y=\gamma+5,
αx+5y=β+1,\alpha x+5y=\beta+1,
where α,β,γ∈R\alpha,\beta,\gamma\in\mathbf R has infinitely many solutions, then the value of ∣9α+3β+5γ∣|9\alpha+3\beta+5\gamma| is equal to ______.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 58

Infinitely many solutions. α2=5−3=β+1γ+5\frac\alpha2=\frac5{-3}=\frac{\beta+1}{\gamma+5}: α=−103\alpha=-\frac{10}3 and 3β+5γ=−283\beta+5\gamma=-28.

Value. ∣9α+3β+5γ∣=∣−30−28∣=58|9\alpha+3\beta+5\gamma|=|-30-28|=58.

Answer: 58
