Let us express the following statements into simultaneous linear equations and solve them graphically.

If 3 is subtracted from numerator and 2 added to the denominator, the fraction will be and if 4 is subtracted from numerator and 2 is subtracted from denominator, the fraction will be . Let us construct the equation of the statement and write the fraction by solving graphically.

Let Numerator and Denominator are x and y


Given After Subtracting 3 from Numerator and adding 2 from Denominator the fraction is 1/3



2x - 6 = y - 2


2x - y = 4 ………(1)


Putting different values of x, we get different values of ‘y’, hence we get points for plotting as:



Given After Subtracting 4 from Numerator and 2 from Denominator Fraction is 1/2



2x - 8 = y - 2


2x - y = 6 .....(2)


Putting different values of x, we get different values of ‘y’, hence we get points for plotting as:




.


Parallel Lines So there will be no solution.
