Question

Two numbers are such that three times the first number is equal to five times the other". Choose the linear equation that satisfies the above statement.​

Answer 1

Let the 2 numbers be x and y

3 times x is equal to 5 times y

So,

$3x = 5y \\ 3x - 5y = 0$

The linear equation is 3x - 5y = 0
