The sum of their two numbers is 96.
If a variable's highest power is constantly 1, an equation is said to be linear. A one-degree equation is another name for it. Usually, a one-variable linear equation has the form Ax + B = 0. The variables x and A are variables in this scenario, whereas the variable B is a constant
Let Alfred take x and Rani take y.
As per given question,
5x+2y=300.......(1)
2x+3y=252......(2)
On multiplying (1) with 3 and equation (2) with 2, we get
15x+6y=900
→4x+6y=504
On subtracting both, we get
15x+6y=900
4x+6y=504
______________________
11x=396
⇒x=36
Putting x=36 in (1), we get
5×36+2y=300
⇒2y=300−180
⇒2y=120
⇒y=60
Sum of two numbers is 60+36=96.
