Q438
The graphs of the equations 3x - 20y - 2 = 0 and 11x - 5y + 61 = 0 intersect at P(a, b). What is the value of (a2 + b2 - ab)(a2 - b2 + ab)?
A.
B.
C.
Answer
D.
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
It intersect at point P(a, b) = (x, y)3x - 20y = 2
11x - 5y = -61
44x - 20y = -244
3x - 20y = 2
x = -6
y = -1
P(a, b) = (-6, -1)
