eq formed will be:

x+y= 170

Answer 2

Question-

The total number of runs scored by Virat Kohli and Dhoni together in a T20 cricket match is 170. Write a linear equation in two variables that fit this data.

Solution-

Let -

• Number of runs scored by virat kohli = x
• Number of runs scored by MS Dhoni = y

Their score together -

• x + y = 170

Hence, linear equation will be (x + y = 170).
