Explanatory Answer

let a=3x+2y;b=2x5y
Let's try to write x in terms of a and b
5a+2b=15x+10y+4x10y=19x
19x=5a+2b
f(3x+2y,2x5y)=19x
f(a,b)=5a+2b
f(x,2x)=5x+4x=9x=27
x=3


The question is " Suppose f(x,y) is a real-valued function such that f(3x+2y,2x5y)=19x, for all real numbers x and y. The value of x for which f(x,2x)=27, is "

Hence, the answer is '3'
