Question

the difference between two number is 5. when the larger number is multiplied by 2, the sum of both the numbers is 7. Hence, represent graphically the simultaneous linear equations in two variables and state the type of solutions.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

let the larger number = a,

and the smaller one = b.

a - b = 5 ==> a = b+5

2a + b = 7

2(b+5) +b=7

2b+10+b=7

3b= 7-10

3b = -3

b = -1

a = -1+5 = 4
