Application of linear equation in 2 variables in real life with solutions. Please give correct answers
Answers
Answer:
In real life, the applications of linear equations are vast. To tackle real-life problems using algebra, we convert the given situation into mathematical statements in such a way that it clearly illustrates the relationship between the unknowns
some common applications are-
- Age problems.
- Speed, time and distance problems.
- Geometry problems.
- Money and percentage of problems.
- Wages and hourly rate problems.
- Force and pressure problems.
Ex
Yasir is fifteen years elder than Mujtaba. Five years ago, Yasir was three times as old as Mujtaba. Then Yasir’s present age will be:
ans- Let the age of Yasir be = x years. Then the age of Mujtaba will be equal to x – 15 years. Now let us move on to the second condition. Five years ago the age of Yasir will be equal to x – 5 years. Also, the age of Mujtaba five years ago will be x – 15 – 6 years = x – 21 years. As per the question, we have:
3(x – 21) = x – 5 or 3x – 63 = x – 5. Therefore we have: 2x = 58 and hence x = 29 years.
