1. Ankur tells his niece, “Seven years ago, I was seven times of your age as you were then. After three years, I will be three times of your age from now.” Represent given condition algebraically and graphically.

Let the present age of Ankur and his niece be x and y respectively.

Seven years ago,

Age of Ankur and

Age of his niece

According to question,

  ……… (i)

After three years from the present age, we get

………..(ii)

Represnt equations (i) and (ii) algebraically.

To represent these equations graphically we need at least two solutions for each (i) and (ii).

And let’s put them in a table for each:

From equation (i),

x
x

From equation (ii),

Equation (i) and (ii) can be plotted in a graph as below:
