Express the following statement as a linear equation in two variables

1.	Express the following statement as a linear equation in two variables. ‘The sum of two numbers is 24″.A) x + 4y = 24 B) 4x + y = 24 C) x + y = 24 D) xy = 24
Answer» Correct option is (C) x + y = 24 Let both numbers are x and y. \(\therefore\) Their sum = x+y \(\therefore\) x + y = 24 \((\because\) Given that sum of both numbers is 24) C) x + y = 24

Express the following statement as a linear equation in two variables. ‘The sum of two numbers is 24″.A) x + 4y = 24 B) 4x + y = 24 C) x + y = 24 D) xy = 24

Answer»

Correct option is (C) x + y = 24

Let both numbers are x and y.

\(\therefore\) Their sum = x+y

\(\therefore\) x + y = 24 \((\because\) Given that sum of both numbers is 24)

C) x + y = 24
