Match the following :(a) x/2 = 10(i) x = 4(b) 20 = 6x - 4(ii) x = 1(c) 2x - 5 = 3 - x(iii) x = 20(d) 7x - 4 - 8x = 20(iv) x = 8/3(e) 4/11 - x = -7/11(v) x = -24(A) (i), (ii), (iv), (iii), (v)(B) (iii), (iv), (i), (ii), (v)(C) (iii), (i), (iv), (v), (ii)(D) (iii), (i), (v), (iv), (ii) |
Answer» (C) (iii),(i), (iv), (v), (ii) a. x/2 = 10, multiplying by 2 on both sides, we get x/2 x 2 = 10 x 2 ⇒ x = 20 b. 20 = 6x – 4 by transposition ⇒ 20 + 4 = 6x 6x = 24 dividing by 6 on both sides, 6x/6 = 24/6 ⇒ x = 4 c. 2x – 5 = 3 – x By transposing the variable ‘x’, we get 2x – 5 + x = 3 by transposing – 5 to other side, 2x + x = 3 + 5 ∴ 3x = 8 3x/3 = 8/3 ∴ x = 8/3 d. 7x – 4 – 8x = 20 by transposing – 4 to other side, 7x – 8x = 20 + 4 – x = 24 ∴ x = – 24 4/11 – x = −7/11 Transposing 4/11 to other side, – x = −7/11− 4/11 = (−7−4)/11 = −11/11 = – 1 ∴ – x = – 1 ⇒ x = 1 |

Answer» (a) 10y = 80 y = 10 is net a solution to the given equation because for y = 10 10y = 10 × 10 = 100, and net 80 (b) 10y = 80 y = 8 is a solution to the given equation because for y = 8 10y = 10 × 8 = 80 and hence, the equation is satisfied (c) 10y = 80 y = 5 is net a solution to the given equation because for y = 5 10y = 10 × 5 = 50, and net 80. (d) 4l = 20 l = 20 is net a solution to the given equation because for l = 20 4l = 4 × 20 = 80, and net 20 (e) 4l = 80 l = 80 is net a solution to the given equation because for l = 80 4l = 4 × 80 = 320, and net 20 (f) 4l = 20 4l = 4 × 5 = 20 and hence, the equation because for l = 5 4l = 4 × 5 = 20 and hence, the equation is satisfied (g) b + 5 = 9 b = 5 is net a solution to the given equation because for b = 5 (h) b + 5 = p b = 9 is net a solution to the given equation because for b = 9 b + 5 = 9 + 5 = 14, and net 9 (i) b + 5 = 9 b + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9 and hence, the equation is satisfied (j) h – 8 = 5 h = 13 is a solution to the given equation because for h = B h – 8 = 13 – 8 = 5 and hence, the equation is satisfied (k) h – 8 = 5 h = 8 is net a solution to the given equation because for h = 8 h = 8 = -8 = 0, and net 5 (l) h – 8 = 5 h = 0 is net a solution to the given equation because for h = 0, h – 8 = 0 – 8 = -8, and net 5 (m) p + 3 = 1 p + 3 = 3 + 3 = 6, and net 1 (n) p + 3 = 1 p + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4 , and net 1 (o) p + 3 = 1 p + 3 = 0 + 3 = 3, and net 1 (p) p + 3 = 1 p + 3 = -1 + 3 = 2, and net 1 p + 3 = -2 + 3 = 1 and hence, the equation is satisfied. |

(a) Given Munnu’s age to be x years, can you guess what `(x + 2)` may show? (Hint : Think of Munnu’s younger brother.) Can you guess what `(x + 4)` may show? What `(3 x +7 )` may show? (b) Given Sara’s age today to be y years. Think of her age in the future or in the past. What will the following expression indicate? `y + 7, y - 3, y + (4) 1/2, (2) 1/2.` (c) Given n students in the class like football, what may 2 n show ? What may `n/2` show ? (Hint : Think of games others than football )Type here in ASCII with maths in back tick : |
Answer» a)x-2 represent the age of the person who is 2 years younger than munnu x+4 represents the age of the person than can be his elder brother who is 4 years older than munnu. 3x+7 represents the age of the person whose age is seven years more than 3 time munnus age than can be his father. b)y+7 represents saras age 7 years late y-3 represents saras age 3 years ago y+4 1/2 represents saras age 4 1/2 years later. y-2 1/2 represents saras age 2 1/2 years ago. c)2n may show the number of students who like cricket or football n/2 may show the number of students who like both football and other games like cricket. |
