Question

In a survey, an agency found that the number of people suffer from asthma due to smoking is 5 more than two- third the number of people suffer from other diseases. a)Represent this situation as a linear equation
please correct linear eqaution

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the people suffering from other disease be = X

Then the number of people suffering from Asthma = Y = $\frac{2}{3} X$+5

Then the equation forms is -

$Y= \frac{2}{3}X +5$

Multiply whole equation by 3. ( Because we need to balance the equation and to convert fraction into a simple integers.)

⇒$3(Y) = 3(\frac{2}{3}X+5)$

You will get

3Y=2X+15

In general form you can write

2X - 3Y + 15 = 0
