Answer 2

Question :

Age of x is less than y by 5 years. Express this statement

in linear equation.

Answer :

x + 5 = y

Given :

The information age of x is less than y by 5 years.

To find :

To express the statement in linear equation.

Solution :

The required linear equation is :

x + 5 = y

Since , age of x is less than y by 5 years , hence age of x added to 5 will result in the age of y.

• A linear equation is an equation where the degree of a variable is always 1 .
• Linear equation is also known as one degree equation.
• The standard form of linear equation is Ax + B = 0 where A is a coefficient of variable x and B is a constant.

Hence, The required linear equation is x + 5 = y.
