Options

A

25y − 18x = 9

B

18x − 25y = 9

C

18x + 25y = 9

D

25y + 18x = 9

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

18x − 25y = 9

Solution :

The correct option is 18x − 25y = 9.

Step-by-step Explanation:

According to the division algorithm, any integer n can be represented as:

n=divisor×quotient+remainder

From the first statement given in the problem:

When the integer n is divided by 18, the quotient is x and the remainder is 6.

We can write this as Equation (1):

n=18x+6

From the second statement given in the problem:

When the integer n is divided by 25, the quotient is y and the remainder is 15.

We can write this as Equation (2):

n=25y+15

Since both equations represent the same integer n, we can equate them:

18x+6=25y+15

Now, rearrange the terms to group the variables on one side and the constant values on the other side:

18x-25y=15-6

18x-25y=9

Thus, the true relationship is 18x − 25y = 9.
