Question

When 3 times the larger of the number is divided by the smaller, the quotient and remainder are 2 and 7 respectively. form a linear equations in two variables. write it in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:Let the larger number be x

And the smaller number be y

Now,

Dividend = divisor x quotient + remainder

According to the question,

5x=2y+9

⟹2y=5x−9

⟹y=5x−92

By putting the values of x, you will obtain the corresponding values of y.

Hence, there can be a number of solutions for x and y.

A few ordered pairs are mentioned below,

(1,-2), (3,3), (-1,-7) and so on.

Thank you.
