Question

Ananya and Ruchika, two students of class VIII of a school together contributed Rs.
250 towards a fund collection for Thalassemia patients. Write a linear equation which
satisfies this data by taking Ananya's contribution as * x and Ruchika's contribution
as* y. Find two solutions for the same equation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x+y=250

given that ananya's contribution is x and that of ruchika is y and they both contributed ( means the sum of both ) is 250

write it in variable form as,

x + y = 250

take x as 50 ( you can take any positive number less than 250 as contribution cannot be more than the given amount )

50 + y = 250

y =200

take y as 120 ( in this case also you can take any positive number less than 250)

x +120 =250

x = 130

(x,y) = (50,200),(130,120)
