Q24 of 50 Page 4

Draw the graphs of the following linear equations on the same graph paper.

2x + 3y = 12


x – y = 1

2x + 3y = 12


It can be re-written as,


3y = 12 – 2x



Taking different values of x and obtaining values of y,


At x = 0,



At x = 3,



Thus, the points to be plotted are:



Now, for second equation,


x – y = 1


y = x – 1


Taking different values of x,


At x = 1,


y = 1 – 1= 0


At x = 0,


y = 0 – 1 = -1


Thus, the points to be plotted are



Plotting the points,

Ravish tells his daughter Aarushi, “Seven years ago, I was seven times as old as you were then. Also, three years from now, I shall be three times as old as you will be.” If the present ages of Aarushi and Ravish are x and y years respectively, represent this situation algebraically.
