The system of equations \(2 x+y-5=0, x-2 y+1=0\) and \(2 x-14 y-a=0\) is consistent. Then, \(a\) is equal to

  1. A 11
  2. B 12
  3. C 16
  4. D –16
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) –16

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y = 5 - 2x\) \(x - 2(5 - 2x) + 1 = 0 \implies 5x - 9 = 0 \implies x = \frac{9}{5}\) \(y = 5 - 2(\frac{9}{5}) = \frac{25 - 18}{5} = \frac{7}{5}\) \(2(\frac{9}{5}) - 14(\frac{7}{5}) - a = 0\) \(\frac{18}{5} - \frac{98}{5} - a = 0\)…
