ABU DHABI INDIAN SCHOOL , ABU DHABI MATHS WORKSHEET GRADE X Pair of Linear Equations in two variables 1.

Radha went to a stationary shop and purchased 2 pencils and 3 erasers for Rs 9. Her friend Sarika bought 4 pencils and 6 erasers of the same kind for Rs 18. Represent this situation algebraically and graphically. Five years hence, a fathers age will be three times the age of his son. Five years ago, the father was seven times as old as his son. Represent this situation algebraically and graphically. On comparing the ratios

Find the vertices of the le formed by the lines representing the equations x 3y = 18; x + 7y = 22 and y = 0. Solve the system of equations graphically and find the area of the region bounded by these two lines and y-axis: 2x 3y + 6 = 0; 2x + 3y 18= 0 Draw the graph of the equations x y + 1 = 0 and 3x + 2y 12= 0. Find the co-ordinates of the vertices of the le formed by these lines and x-axis. Shade the triangular region. Solve for x and y by the method of substitution.
