Question

Once a mule and a donkey were talking. The mule said, “I am carrying more sacks than you. In fact, if you give me one of your sacks, then I would have twice as many as you. If I give you a sack, our loads would be equal.” how many sacks was each animal carrying

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sacks of mule=x

Sacks of donkey =y

Atq

X+1=2(y-1)

Sloving we get

X-2y=-3 let it be first eq

Atq

X-1=y+1

Solving we get

X-y=2 let it be second eq

So solving these equations by elimination method . We get x=7 and y=5
