Question

The ratio between male and female employees in a factory is 2:3 . Set up a linear equation between males and employees of the factory.

Answer 1

Answer:

2x + 3x = total number of employees

Answer 2

Answer:

5x = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of employees in the factory be y.

Then,

Number of male employees = 2x

Number of female employees = 3x

{ Here x is the constant by which 2 and 3 are multiplied to get original form }.

Equation :-

2x + 3x = y

=> 5x = y
