Find the value of a, so that the point (3, a) lies on the line represented by 2x - 3y = 5.
Since the point (3, a) lies on the line represented by 2x - 3y = 5
Thus, the point (3,a) will satisfy the above linear equation
∴ 2×(3) - 3×(a) = 5
⇒ 3a = 6-5
⇒ 3a = 1
∴ a = (1/3)
Thus, the value of a is (1/3).
