Question

A fraction becomes 1/4 when 2 is subtracted from the numerator & 3 is added to the denominator. Represent this situation as linear equation in two variables. Also, find wo solutions for this.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2/y+3 = 1/4

x+2 = 4y + 12

x-4y = 10

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x-2}{y+3}=\frac{1}{4}$

After cross multiplication

4(x - 2) = y + 3

4x - 8 = y + 3

4x - y - 11 = 0 (standard form of linear equation}

y = 4x - 11 (slope-intercept form)

If x = 0, then y = - 11

(0, - 11) (one of a solution}

If x = 2, then y = - 3

(2, - 3) ( another one solution)
