Q.5The teacher asked two students to write the algebraic statement for the verbal statement “8 more than a number”. Vetri wrote ‘8 + x’ but Maran wrote ‘8x’. Who gave the correct answer?v
Answer:Let the number be x; 8 more than the number = 8 + x.
Vetri gave the correct answer as 8 + x.
Q.6Answer the following questions. (i) If ‘n’ takes the value 3 then find the value of ‘n + 10’? (ii) If ‘g’ is equal to 300 what is the value of ‘g – 1’ and ‘g + 1’? (iii) What is the value of ‘s’, if ‘2s – 6’ gives 30?v
Answer:(i) n = 3
n + 10 = 3 + 10 = 13(ii) g = 300
g – 1 = 300 – 1
= 299
g + 1 = 300 + 1
=301
(iii) 2s – 6 = 30
2s = 30 + 6
2s = 36
s = 36/2
s = 18

Q.96 less to ‘n’ gives 8 is represented asv
- A. n – 6 = 8
- B. 6 – n = 8
- C. 8 – n = 6
- D. n – 8 = 6
Q.1Complete the following pattern. 9 – 1 = 98 – 21 = 987 – 321 = 9876 – 4321 = 98765 – 54321 = What comes next?v
Answer:9 – 1 = 8
98 – 21 = 77
987 – 321 = 666
9876 – 4321 = 5555
98765 – 54321 = 44444
Next will be 987654 – 654321 = 333333
Q.2A piece of wire is ‘12s’ cm long. What will be the length of the side if it is formed as (i) an equilateral triangle. (ii) a square?v
Answer:(i) An equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides.
Length of the wire = ‘12s’ cm
Length of each side = \(\frac{12 s}{3}\) cm.
Length of each side of the triangle = 4s cm
(ii) A square has four equal sides.
Length of each side \(\frac{12 s}{4}\) cm
Length of each side of the square 3s cm

Q.5Gopal is 8 years younger than Karnan. If the sum of their ages is 30, how old is Karnan?v
Answer:Let the age of Kaman be x years
Gopal’s age = x – 8
Ace to the problem, x + x – 8 = 30
2x – 8 = 30
2x = 30 + 8
2x = 38
x = \(\frac{38}{2}\)
x = 19
Age of Kaman = 19 years
