Question

Form a linear equation in two variables for each of the following :

a) Pak Osman bought x oranges and y apples with a total amount of RM50. He sold an orange and an apple for RM0.60 and RM0.70 respectively. After he sold all the fruits, he earned a profit of RM10.

b) The sum of numbers x and y is five times the difference between the two numbers. The value of x is greater than the value of y.

Answer 1

Explanation:

a. (0.60x + 0.70y)- 50 = 10

<=> 0.60x + 0.70y = 60

b. (x+y) = 5(x-y)

x+y=5x-5y

<=> 4x - 6y = 0
