Question

Raju has some sweets. He can give them equally to 4 or 6 of his friends without any sweets left. what is the possible number of sweets he can have?

Answer 1

The possible number of sweets he can have is 124.

The elimination method is the technique of casting off one of the variables within the system of linear equations using the addition or subtraction methods together with multiplication or division of coefficients of the variables.

Inside the elimination method, you both add or subtract the equations to get an equation in a single variable. whilst the coefficients of 1 variable are opposites you upload the equations to dispose of a variable and when the coefficients of one variable are equal you subtract the equations to eliminate a variable.

Let the number of sweets be x and the total number of friends be y.

Now after taking 4 by each

X=4y+4

And after taking 5 by each

X=5y-26

Now by solving the above equation by elimination method.

Y=30 and x=124 which means sweets will be 124 and total friends are 30.
