Question -

Ravish tells his daughter Aarushi, “Seven years ago, I was seven times as old as you were then. Also, three years from now, I shall be three times as old as you will be”. If present ages of Aarushi and Ravish are x and y years respectively, represent this situation algebraically as well as graphically.



Answer -

Present age of Aarushi = x years
and age of Ravish = y years
7 years ago,
age of Aarushi = x – 7
years and age of Ravish =y-7 years
∴ y- 7 = 7 (X – 7)
⇒  y – 7 = 7x – 49
⇒  7x – y = -7 + 49  = 42
7x – y = 42
⇒  y = 7x – 42
If x = 6, then
y = 7 x 6 – 42 = 42 – 42 = 0,
If x = 7, then
y = 7 x 7 – 42 – 49 – 42 = -7
 
Plot the points (6, 0) (7, -7) on the graph and join them.
After 3 years,
age of Aarushi = x + 3
and age of Ravish = y + 3
⇒  y + 3 = 3(x + 3)
⇒ y + 3 = 3x + 9
⇒ y = 3x+ 9-3
⇒ y = 3x + 6
If x = -2, then y = 3 x (-2) + 6 =6-6=0
If x = 1, then y = 3 x (1) + 6 =3+6=9
Plot the points (1, 9), (-2, 0) on the graph Arundeep’s Mathematics (R.D.) 9th and join them to get another line.
