Question

A modern equation involving positive and negative integers would be -3+4=1. How would Brahmagupta have represented this equation?
A. Three fortunes added to four debts will be one debt.
B. Three debts added to four debts will be one debt.
C. Three fortunes added to four fortunes will be one fortune.
D. Three debts added to 4 fortunes will be one fortune.

Answer 1

D. Three debts added to four fortunes will be one fortune.

Debts=negative, so -3

Fortunes= positive, so 4

-3+4=1

3debt+4fortune=1fortune

Or, 4fortune-3debt=1fortune

4-3=1

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Three debts added to 4 fortunes will be one fortune.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A modern equation involving positive and negative integers would be -3+4=1.

To find : How would Brahmagupta have represented this equation.

Solution : We have given that -3+4=1.

Here, - sing represent by debt and + sign represent by fortune .

In given statement  3  is with debt and 4 is with fortune and 1 with fortune.

Then we can see,  Three debts added to 4 fortune will be one fortune.

Therefore, D. Three debts added to 4 fortunes will be one fortune.
