Transcript text: Part (c)
Substitute the value of $\mathcal{C}$ obtained in Part (a), distribute it to all terms in the first equation, and add the equations together:
\[
\begin{aligned}
\mathcal{C}(2 x+6 y & =0) \\
\frac{3 x+15 y}{0 x+\alpha y} & =\frac{8}{\beta}
\end{aligned}
\]
Enter the value of $\beta$, the constant term on the right-hand side.
\[
\beta=
\]
$\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Substitute and Distribute
We start by substituting the value of \(\mathcal{C}\) into the first equation. The first equation becomes:
\[
\mathcal{C}(2x + 6y) = 0
\]
After substituting, we have:
\[
C(2x + 6y)
\]
Step 2: Define the Second Equation
The second equation is given as:
\[
\frac{3x + 15y}{0x + \alpha y} = \frac{8}{\beta}
\]
This can be rearranged to:
\[
\frac{3x + 15y}{\alpha y} - \frac{8}{\beta} = 0
\]
Step 3: Combine the Equations
We combine the modified first equation and the second equation:
\[
C(2x + 6y) - \frac{8}{\beta} + \frac{3x + 15y}{\alpha y} = 0
\]
Step 4: Solve for \(\beta\)
From the combined equation, we can isolate \(\beta\):
\[
\beta = \frac{8\alpha y}{2C\alpha xy + 6C\alpha y^2 + 3x + 15y}
\]
Final Answer
Thus, the value of \(\beta\) is given by:
\[
\boxed{\beta = \frac{8\alpha y}{2C\alpha xy + 6C\alpha y^2 + 3x + 15y}}
\]
