Question

The runs scored by two batsmen in a cricket match are 164. Write a linear equation in two variables x and y. Also write a solution of this equation.

Answer 1

Let one batsman score $\text{x}$ runs.
Then, the other batsman scores $y$ runs.
Given, total runs = 164
Then, according the given condition, we have:
$x+y=164$

Solution:
Putting $x=0$ in the equation, we get:
$y=164$
Again, putting $y=0$ in the equation, we get:
$x=164$
Hence, $(0,164),(164,0)$ are the two solutions of the equation.
