Realistic situations often require multiple unknowns: e.g., “Jake bought 2 apples and 3 bananas for ₹50, while Nina bought 4 apples and 1 banana for ₹40. Find each fruit’s cost.” Form equations from each statement: 2a+3b=50, 4a+b=40. Solve simultaneously (by substitution or elimination) to get a=10, b=10 in this example. These tasks arise in budgeting, mixture, or scheduling. Mastering multi-variable setups fosters robust problem-solving for real-life constraints that can’t be reduced to a single equation, bridging arithmetic to more advanced algebraic planning.
