Question

Akhila went to a fair in her village. She wanted to enjoy rides on the Giant Wheel and play Hoopla (a game in which you throw a rig on the items kept in the stall, and if the ring covers any object completely you get it). The number of times she played Hoopla is half the number of rides she had on the Giant Wheel. Each ride costs Rs 3, and a game of Hoopla costs Rs 4. If she spent Rs 20 in the fair, represent this situation algebraically and graphically.

Answer 1

The pair of equations formed is:

Recall from Class IX that there are infinitely many solutions of each linear equation. So each of you choose any two values, which may not be the ones we have chosen. Can you guess why we have chosen xo in the first equation and in the second equation? When one of the variables is zero, the equation reduces to a linear equation is one variable, which
