Question

A fraction becomes ¼ 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, draw the
graph of it.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the fraction = x/y and y is not equal to zero

given

(x-2)/(y+3)=1/4

4(x-2)=y+3

4x-8=y+3

4x-y-8-3=0

4x-y-11=0

this is a linear equation in two variables x and y
