Question

A number is four times the other. Write a linear equation in two variables to represent this statement

Answer 1

Answer:

Let one number be x and the other number be y.

According to the question,

y = 4x

Therefore, y = 4x is the required equation.

Linear Equations:

• It is the type of equation which is in the form of ax + by + c = 0, where a, b and c belong to real numbers and are not equal to zero.
• Here a b and c are coefficients and x and y are variables.
• a is called the leading coefficient.
• A linear equation in two variables has infinite number of solutions.

Answer 2

First number be y

The other be 4x

So the equation => y= 4x
