[GMAT math practice question]
If the operation @ is defined by x@y=ax+by (a and b are constants), what is the value of24 ?
1) 1@2=5
2) 1@1=6
=>
Forget conventional ways of solving math questions. In DS, VA (Variable Approach) method is the easiest and quickest way to find the answer without actually solving the problem. Remember that equal number of variables and independent equations ensures a solution.
The first step of VA(Variable Approach) method is modifying the original condition and the question,
