on her birthday amisha donated 2 toffees each to children of an orphanage and 15 chocolates to adults working there. taking the total items disturbed as x the no. of children y write a linear equation in two variables for the above situation
1. write the standard form
2. how many children are there 61 items were disturbed ?
3. what values does amisha possess ?
Given
Number of children =y
Number of toffees distributed=2y
Number of items amisha distributed =x
no of choclates distributed=15
Linear equation according to the problem
2y+15=x
x-2y-15=0
(2)
Given
x=61
61-2y-15=0
2y=46
y=23
Number of children=23
