Explanation:

Given that:-


(2x - 1)

is exactly divisible by


6 {x}^(2) + ax - 4

and


b {x}^(2) - 11x + 3

We need to simply, place the value of x.


2x - 1 = 0


2x = 1


x = (1)/(2)

Now,


6 {( (1)/(2) )}^(2) + (a)/(2) - 4 = 0


(3 + a)/(2) = 4


3 + a = 4 * 2 = 8


a = 8 - 3


a = 5

Now, to find b.


b {( (1)/(2)) }^(2) - (11)/(2) + 3 = 0


(b)/(4) - (11)/(2) = - 3


(b - 22)/(4) = - 3


b - 22 = - 12


b = 10

is the answer.

Now, we need


{b}^(2) - {a}^(2) + a - b


100 - 25 + 100 + 5


= 205 - 25


= 180

is the answer.

Hope it helps :D
