construct a word problem on simultaneous linear equations in two variables so that the value of one of the variables will be 10 (persons,rupees,metres,years etc.) and solve it
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of present ages of Timothy and Sarah is 40 years ,Timothy is elder than Sarah by 20 years. Find their present ages
Let the Timothy's present age be x
Let the Sarah's present age be y
According to the first condition
x + y = 40 .......... (1)
According to the second condition
x - y = 20 ........... (2)
Adding equation 2 from 1
x + y = 40
+ x - y = 20
--------------
2x = 60
x = 60/2
x = 30
Substitute x = 30 in equation 1
x + y = 40
30 + y = 40
y = 40 - 30
y = 10
Ans: Timothy's present age is 30 years and Sarah's present age is 10 years.

Example:The sum of present ages of Madhu and Raju is 11years.Madhu is elder than Raju by 9 years.Find their present ages.
Solution:Let the present age of Madhu be x years and the age of Raju be y years.
∴x+y=11 .....(1)
x−y=9 .......(2)
Adding (1) and (2) we get
2x=20
∴x=10
And x+y=11
∴10+y=11
∴y=11−10=1
∴ Present age of Madhu is 10years and of Raju is 1 year.
