Question

If three times the larger of two number is divided by the smaller the quotient and remainder will be 2 and 7 respectively. Write the equation in two variables

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number be x and smaller number be y.

Three times larger number = 3x When 3x is divided by y the quotient is 2 and remainder is 7.

By division rule, we have Dividend = (divisor) × (quotient) + Remainder

3x = y(2) + 7⇒ 3x – 2y – 7 = 0
