Question

the number of balls in a sports shop is 4 less than 3 times the number of bats. if the total number of bats and balls in the shop is 48 find the number of bats and balls.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let the Number of Bats in sports shop be 'x' and Number of Ball in sports shop be 'y'.

• Now, According to the First condition, y = 3x - 4 i.e. 3x - y = 4... (i)

• By Second Condition, x + y = 48... (ii)

• Now, Adding equation (i) and (ii), ( Adding equation given in the attachment.)

• Therefore, By Adding the Equation we get, x = 13. i.e. the Number of Bat = 13.

• Now, substituting the value of x in (ii) we get, 13 + y = 48

• y = 48 - 13

• y = 35

• y = 35 i.e. The Number if Ball in sports shop is 35.

• Therefore the Number of Bat and Ball in the sports shop is 13 and 35 respectively.
