Correct Answer :

29

Solution :

The correct answer is 29.

We are given the differential equation:

(2x+3y-2)dx+(4x+6y-7)dy=0, with y(0)=3

Step 1: Identify the structure.

Notice that the coefficient of dy is 4x+6y-7=2(2x+3y)-7. Both coefficients share the combination 2x+3y, suggesting the substitution v=2x+3y.

Step 2: Apply the substitution v=2x+3y.

Differentiating with respect to x:

ddxv=2+3dydx

Rewrite the ODE as:

dydx=-2x+3y-24x+6y-7=-v-22v-7

Substituting into the expression for dvdx:

dvdx=2+3·(-v-22v-7)=2(2v-7)-3(v-2)2v-7=v-82v-7

Step 3: Separate variables and integrate.

We get:

2v-7v-8dv=dx

Perform polynomial long division on the left side. Since 2v-7=2(v-8)+9:

2v-7v-8=2+9v-8

Integrating both sides:

(2+9v-8)dv=dx

2v+9loge|v-8|=x+C

Step 4: Substitute back v=2x+3y.

2(2x+3y)+9loge|2x+3y-8|=x+C

4x+6y+9loge|2x+3y-8|=x+C

Rearranging:

3x+6y+9loge|2x+3y-8|=C

Dividing through by 3:

x+2y+3loge|2x+3y-8|=C3

Step 5: Apply the initial condition y(0)=3.

At x=0, y=3:

0+2(3)+3loge|2(0)+3(3)-8|=C3

6+3loge|9-8|=C3

6+3loge1=C3C3=6

So the particular solution is:

x+2y+3loge|2x+3y-8|=6

Step 6: Identify α, β, and γ by comparison.

The given form of the solution is αx+βy+3loge|2x+3y-γ|=6.

Comparing with our derived solution x+2y+3loge|2x+3y-8|=6, we identify:

α=1, β=2, γ=8

Step 7: Calculate the required expression.

α+2β+3γ=1+2(2)+3(8)=1+4+24=29
