Pls.. I need it very fast, pls.. Tina went to a bookshop to get some story books and textbooks. When her friends asked her how many books she had bought, she answered, the no. of textbooks is 2 more than twice the the no. of story books bought. Also, the no. of textbooks is 4 less than 4 times the no. of story books bought. Help her friends to find the no. of text and story books she had.
Answer :
Let
Total number of story books = x
And
Total number of text books = y
So from first condition we get
y = 2x + 2
y - 2x = 2 ---------------- ( 1 )
And from second condition we get
y + 4 = 4x
y - 4x = - 4 ------------------- ( 2 )
now we subtract equation 2 from equation 1 , we get
2x = 6
x = 3 , Substitute that value in equation 1 , we get
y - 2 ( 3 ) = 2
y = 8
So,
Total number of Story books = 3
And
Total number of text books = 8 ( Ans )
