1. Problem Description

Given that tanα=3\tan \alpha = 3, we need to find the value of the expression sinαcosα2sinα+3cosα\frac{\sin \alpha - \cos \alpha}{2\sin \alpha + 3\cos \alpha}.

2. Solution Steps

We can rewrite the expression in terms of tanα\tan \alpha by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by cosα\cos \alpha:
sinαcosα2sinα+3cosα=sinαcosαcosαcosα2sinαcosα+3cosαcosα=tanα12tanα+3\frac{\sin \alpha - \cos \alpha}{2\sin \alpha + 3\cos \alpha} = \frac{\frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha} - \frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos \alpha}}{2\frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha} + 3\frac{\cos \alpha}{\cos \alpha}} = \frac{\tan \alpha - 1}{2\tan \alpha + 3}
Now, we substitute tanα=3\tan \alpha = 3 into the expression:
312(3)+3=26+3=29\frac{3 - 1}{2(3) + 3} = \frac{2}{6 + 3} = \frac{2}{9}

3. Final Answer

The value of the expression is 29\frac{2}{9}. So the answer is [C].
