Kavita and Ruchi , two students of a school contributes to charity . The contribution of kavita is one third of the contribution of Ruchi . Write a linear equation according to the above statement .

Let the contribution of Ruchi be x and that of Kavita be y.

It is given that the contribution of kavita is one third of the contribution of Ruchi

So,

 

  • 5

their contribution = x

kavita"s contribution = y

ruchi"s contribution  = y/3

        y + (y/3) =x

  • 4

 let kavita's cony. be x and ruchi's be y

then x=y/3 

  • 4

total contribution = x

kavita"s contribution = y

ruchi"s contribution = y/3

y + (y/3) =x
