Question

please tell this answer : Runs scored by Pujara is 10 less than twice the runs scored by Raina. If the total runs scored by both is 155, find the runs scored by each.​

Answer 1

Let the runs scored by Raina = x

Runs scored by Pujara = 2x - 10

Total runs scored by both = 155

x + 2x - 10 = 155

3x - 10 = 155

3x = 155 + 10

3x = 165

x = 165/3

x = 55

2x - 10 = 2 x 55 - 10 = 100

Raina scored 55 runs

Raina scored 55 runs Pujara scored 100 runs

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Total number of runs scored= 155

Let the number of runs scored by Raina be x

Twice of x= 2x

Runs scored by Pujara = 2x - 10

EQUATION FORMED:

x+ (2x-10)= 155

x+2x-10= 155

3x - 10= 155

3x =155+10

3x=165

x= $\frac{165}{3}$

x= 55

∴ Raina scored 55 runs

Runs scored by Pujara= (2×55)-10

                                       110-10 = 100runs
