    The foci of a hyperbola are (±2,0)( \pm 2,0) and its eccentricity is 32\frac{3}{2}. A tangent, perpendicular to the line 2x+3y=62x + 3y = 6, is drawn at a point in the first quadrant on the hyperbola. If the intercepts made by the tangent on the xx - and yy-axes are aa and bb respectively, then ∣6a∣+∣5b∣|6a| + |5b| is equal to
