A tip: Just solve & solve it, you will end up having solution.

At first,

  • 4e² + 24e = 9f² - 36f
  • 4e(e + 6) = 9f(f - 4)

On comparing, we can say that,

  • e + 6 = f - 4
  • e = f - 4 - 6
  • e = f - 10 - - - - - - equation(i)

Put e = f - 10 in 4e = 9f

  • 4(f - 10) = 9f
  • 4f - 40 = 9f
  • - 40 = 9f - 4f
  • -40/5 = f
  • -8 = f

Put f = -8 in equation(i) to find the value of e;

  • e = f - 10
  • e = -8 - 10
  • e = -18

And finally we have got f = -8 & e = -18, now let procede futher;

  • 5/4(2e-3f)²
  • 5/4 × {2(-18) - 3(-8)}²
  • 5/4 × ( -36 + 24)²
  • 5/4 × (-12)²
  • 5/4 × 144
  • 5 × 36
  • 180

Thus, our final answer is 180.
