Introduction To Euclid's Geometry

Question

 Express the following statement as a linear equation in two variables by taking present ages (in years) of father and son as x and y, respectively. Age of father 5 years ago was two years more than 7 times the age of his son at that time.

Solution

Let the present ages of father and son be x years and y years respectively.

Then,

Age of father 5 years ago = (x – 5) years

Age of his son 5 years ago = (y – 5) years
According to the question,
x – 5 = 7(y – 5) + 2
⇒ x – 5 = 7y – 35 + 2
⇒ x – 7y + 28 = 0
which is the required linear equation in two variables.
