Question

A fraction becomes, when 2 is subtracted
from the numerator and 3 is added to the
denominator. Represent this situation as a
linear equation in two variables. Also, find two
solutions for this

Answer 1

Answer:

=

4

1

⇒4x−8=y+3

⇒4x−y=3+8

⇒4x−y=11

∴4x−y−11=0

is a linear equation representing x and y as two variables.

Now,

When x=0,y=−11 and when y=0, x=

11

Hence, (0,−11) and (

,0) are the two solutions for this equation.
