A new operation *, X * y = ax + by-3, is defined for real number X. y, where a and B are constants. If 1 * 2 = 9, (- 3) * 3 = 6, find the value of 2 * (- 7)

A new operation *, X * y = ax + by-3, is defined for real number X. y, where a and B are constants. If 1 * 2 = 9, (- 3) * 3 = 6, find the value of 2 * (- 7)

1*2=A+2B-3=9
So 3A + 6B = 36
(-3)*3=-3A+3B-3=6
So - 3A + 3B = 9
① + 2 gets 9b = 45
B=5
Substituting B = 5 into a + 2b-3 = 9
A = 2
So x * y = 2x + 5y-3
SO 2 * (- 7) = 2 × 2 + 5 × (- 7) - 3 = = 34
[answer] - 34
