EXERCISE 3.1
1. Aftab tells his daughter, "Seven years ago, I was seven times as old as you were then.
Also, three years from now, I shall be three times as old as you will be." (Isn't this
interesting?) Represent this situation algebraically and graphically.

Answer:age of aftab -- x
age of her daughter -- y
algebraically,
(x-7) = 7(y-7)
x - 7 = 7y - 49
x -7y + 42 = 0 ... equation 1
(x+3) = 3(y+3)
x + 3 = 3y + 9
x - 3y - 6 = 0 .... equation 2
now solving both the equation by substitution method
x - 3y - 6 = 0
x = 6 + 3y
substituting this value in equation 1
x - 7y + 42 = 0
6 +3y - 7y + 42 = 0
48 - 4y = 0
48 = 4y
48/4 = y
12 = y
now substituting value of y in eqⁿ 2
x - 3y - 6 = 0
x - 3(12) -6 = 0
x - 36 - 6 = 0
x - 42 =0
x = 42
I hope this answer helps you
