Question

A man spent as much in buying a picture as in framing it. Had the cost of framing it been20 less and that of the picture 15 more, then the cost of the picture would have been twicethat of framing it. Find the cost of the picture.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of the picture = 55 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of picture = x

Let the cost of framing = x

( both are X here because

two things related to one thing that is cost ) linear equations in one variable

he had the cost of framing in rupees 20 less ⇒ x - 20

..and the cost of picture15 more ⇒ x + 15

The cost of the picture would have be twice the cost of framing

x + 15 = 2(x - 20)

x + 15 = 2x - 40

x = 55

The cost of the picture = 55 rupees
