Algebra — key concepts & quick answers

What is an algebraic expression?
An algebraic expression is a combination of variables, constants and arithmetic operations — for example 3x + 5 or 2a² − 4b.
What are like and unlike terms?
Like terms have the same variables raised to the same powers (e.g. 3x and 5x); unlike terms have different variables or powers (e.g. 3x and 5y).
What are some common algebraic identities?
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²; (a − b)² = a² − 2ab + b²; (a + b)(a − b) = a² − b².
What is factorisation?
Factorisation is writing an algebraic expression as a product of its factors — for example x² − 9 = (x + 3)(x − 3).
What is the degree of an algebraic expression?
The degree is the highest power of the variable in the expression. For example, the degree of 4x³ + 2x is 3.

Q.17Factorise the following by taking out the common factor (i) 18xy – 12yzv
Answer:

18xy – 12yz = (2 × 3 × 3 × y × x) – (2 × 2 × 3 × y × z)
Taking out the common factors 2, 3, y, we get
= 2 × 3 × y(3x – 2z) = 6y(3x – 2z)(ii) 9x 5 y 3 + 6x 3 y 2 – 18x 2 y
9x 5 + 6x 3 y 2 – 18x 2 y = (3 × 3 × x 2 × x 3 × y × y) + (2 × 3 × x 2 × x × y × y) – (2 × 3 × 3 × x 2 × y)
Taking out the common factors 3, x 2 , y, we get
= 3 × x 2 × y (3x 3 y 2 + 2xy – 6)
= 3x 2 y (3x 3 y 2 + 2xy – 6)
(iii) x(b – 2c) + y(b – 2c)
Taking out the binomial factor (b – 2c) from each term, we have
= (b – 2c)(x + y)
(iv)(ax + ay) + (bx + by)
Taking at ‘a’ from the first term and ‘b’ from the second term we have
(ax + ay )+ (bx + by) = a(x + y) + b(x + y)
Now taking out the binomial factor (x + y) from each term
= (x + y) (a + b)(v) 2x 2 (4x – 1) – 4x + 1
Taking out -1 from last two terms
2x 2 (4x – 1) – 4x + 1 = 2x 2 (4x – 1) – 1 (4x – 1)
Taking out the binomial factor 4x – 1, we get
= (4x – 1) (2x 2 – 1)
(vi) 3y(x – 2) 2 – 2(2 – x)
3y(x – 2) 2 – 2(2 – x) = 3y(x – 2)(x – 2) – 2( -1)(x – 2)
[∵ Taking out – 1 from 2 – x]
= 3y(x – 2)(x – 2) + 2(x – 2)
Taking out the binomial factor x – 2 from each term, we get
= (x – 2) [3y(x – 2) + 2]
(vii) 6xy – 4y 2 + 12xy – 2yzx
= 6xy + 12xy – 4y 2 – 2yzx [∵ Addition is commutative]
= (6 × x × y) + (2 × 6 × x × y) + (-1) (2) (2) y + y) + ((-1) (2) (y) (z) (x))
Taking out 6 x x x y from first two terms and (-1) × 2 × y from last two terms we get
= 6 × x × y(1 + 2) + (-1) (2) y [2y + zx]
= 6 × y(3) – 2y(2y + zx)
= (2 × 3 × 3 × x × y) – 2xy(2y + zx)
Taking out 2y from two terms
= 2y(9x – (2y + zx))
= 2y (9x – 2y – xz)(viii) a 3 – 3a 2 + a – 3
a 2 – 3a 2 + a – 3 = a 2 (a – 3) + 1(a – 3) [:Groupingthetermssuitably]
= (a – 3) (a 2 + 1)
(ix) 3y 3 – 48y
3y 2 – 48y = 3 × y × y 2 – 3 × l6 × y
Taking out 3 × y
= 3y(y 2 – 16) = 3y(y 2 – 4 2 )
Comparing y 2 – 4 2 with a 2 – b 2
a = y, b = 4
a 2 – b 2 = (a + b) (a – b)
y 2 – 4 2 = (y + 4) (y – 4)
∴ 3y(y 2 – 16) = 3y(y + 4)(y – 4)
(x) ab 2 – bc 2 – ab + c 2
ab 2 – bc 2 – ab + c 2
Grouping suitably
ab 2 – bc 2 – ab + c 2 = b (ab – c 2 ) – 1 (ab – c 2 )
Taking out the binomial factor ab – c 2 = (ab – c 2 ) (b – 1)

Q.18Factorise the following expressions (i) x 2 + 14x + 49v
Answer:

x 2 + 14x + 49 = x 2 + 14x + 72
Comparing with a 2 + 2ab + b 2 = (a + b) 2 we have a = x and b = 7
⇒ x 2 + 2(x)(7) + 7 2 = (x + 7) 2
∴ x 2 + 14x + 49 = (x + 7) 2
(ii) y 2 – 10y + 25
y 2 – 10y + 25 = y 2 – 10y + 5 2
Comparing with a 2 – 2ab + b 2 = (a – b) 2 we get a = y; b = 5
⇒ y 2 – 2(y) (5) + 5 2 = (y – 5) 2
∴ y 2 – 10y + 25 = (y – 5) 2
(iii) c 2 – 4c – 12
This is of the form ax 2 + bx + c
Where a = 1, b = -4 c = -12, x = c
Now the product ac = 1 × – 12 = -12 and the sum b = -4
Product = – 72
Sum = 1
1 × (-12) = -12
1 + (-12) = -11
2 × (-6) = – 12
2 + (-6) = – 4
∴ The middle term – 4c can be written as 2c – 6c
∴ c 2 – 4c – 12 = c 2 + 2c – 6c – 12
= c(c + 2) -6 (c + 2)Taking out (c + 2)
⇒ (c + 2)(c – 6)
∴ c 2 – 4c – 12 = (c + 2)(c – 6)(iv) m 2 + m – 72
m 2 + m – 72
This is of the form ax + bx + c
where a = 1, b = 1, c = -72
Product = – 72
Sum = 1
1 × -72 = – 72
1 + (-72) = -71
2 × – 36 = – 72
2 + (-36) = – 34
3 × (-24) = – 72
3 + (-24) = – 21
4 × (-18) = -72
4 + (-18) = – 14
6 × (-12) = -72
6 + (-12) = – 6
8 × (-9) = -72
8 + (-9) = – 1
9 × (-8) = – 72
9 + (-8) = 1
Product a × c = 1 × -72 = -72
Sum b = 1
The middle term m can be written as 9m – 8m
m 2 + m – 72 = m 2 + 9m – 8m – 72
= m(m + 9) – 8(m + 9)Taking out (m + 9)
= (m + 9)(m – 8)
∴ m 2 + m – 72 = (m + 9)(m – 8)
(v) 4x 2 – 8x + 3
4x 2 – 8x + 3
This is of the form ax 2 + bx + c with a = 4 b = -8 c = 3
Product ac = 4 × 3 = 12
sum b = -8
Product = 12
Sum = -8
(-1) × (-12) = 12
(-1) + (-12) = – 13
(-2) × (-6) = 12
(-2) + (-6) = – 8
The middle term can be written as – 8x = – 2x – 6x
4x 2 – 8x + 3 = 4x 2 – 2x – 6x + 3
= 2x (2x – 1) – 3 (2x – 1)
= (2x – 1)(2x – 3)
4x 2 – 8x + 3 = (2x – 1) (2x – 3)

Q.21A contractor uses the expression 4x 2 + 11x + 6 to determine the amount of wire to order when wiring a house. If the expression comes from multiplying the number of rooms times the number of outlets and he knows the number of rooms to be (x + 2), find the number of outlets in terms of ’x’. [Hint : factorise 4x 2 + 11x + 6]v
Answer:

Given Number of rooms = x + 2
Number of rooms × Number of outlets = amount of wire.
(x + 2) × Number of outlets = 4x 2 + 11x + 6
Number of outlets = \(\frac{4 x^{2}+11 x+6}{x+2}\) … (1)
Now factorising 4x 2 + 11x + 6 which is of the form ax 2 + bx + c with a = 4 b = 11 c = 6.
The product a × c = 4 × 6 = 24
sum b = 11
Product = 24
Sum = 11
1 × 24 = 24
1 + 24 = 25
2 × 12 = 24
2 + 12 = 14
3 × 8 = 24
3 + 18 = 11The middle term 11x can be written as 8x + 3x
∴ 4x 2 + 11 x + 6 = 4x 2 + 8x + 3x + 6
= 4x(x + 2) + 3 (x + 2)
4x 2 + 11x + 6 = (x + 2)(4x + 3)
Now from (1) the number of outlets∴ Number of outlets = 4x + 3

Q.22A mason uses the expression x 2 + 6x + 8 to represent the area of the floor of a room. If the decides that the length of the room will be represented by (x + 4), what will the width of the room be in terms of x?v
Answer:

Given length of the room = x + 4 .
Area of the room = x 2 + 6x + 8
Length × breadth = x 2 + 6x + 8
breadth = \(\frac{x^{2}+6 x+8}{x+4}\) ….. (1)
Factorizing x 2 + 6x + 8, it is in the form of ax 2 + bx + c
Where a =1 b = 6 c = 8.
The product a × c = 1 × 8 = 8
sum = b = 6
Product = 8
Sum = 6
1 × 8 = 8
1 + 8 = 9
2 × 4 = 8
2 + 4 = 6The middle term 6x can be written as 2x + 4x
∴ x 2 + 6x + 8 = x 2 + 2x + 4x + 8
= x(x + 2) + 4(x + 2)
x 2 + 6x + 8 = (x + 2)(x + 4)
Now from (1)∴ Width of the room = x + 2

Q.23Find the missing term: y 2 + (-)x + 56 = (y + 7)(y + -)v
Answer:

We have (x + a)(x + b) = x 2 + (a + b)x + ab

Q.31Find x (i) -3(4x + 9) = 21v
Answer:

Expanding the bracket,
-3 × 4 + (-3) × 9 = 21
∴ -12x + (-27) = 21
– 12x – 27 = 21
Transposing – 27 to other side, it becomes +27
– 12 x = 21 + 27 = 48
∴ – 12x = 48 ⇒ 12x = – 48
Dividing by 12 on both sides(ii) 20 – 2 (5 – p) = 8Expanding the bracket,
20 – 2 × 5 – 2 × (-p) = 8
20 – 10 + 2p = 8
(- 2 × – p = 2p)
10 + 2p = 8 transposing lo to other side
2p = 8 – 10 = – 2
∴ 2p = – 2
∴ p = – 1
(iii) (7x – 5) – 4(2 + 5x) = 10(2 – x)Expanding the brackets,
7x – 5 – 4 × 2 – 4 × 5x = 10 × 2 + 10 × (-x)
7x – 5 – 8 – 20x = 20 – 10x
7x – 13 – 20x = 20 – 10x
Transposing 10x & – 13, we get
7x – 13 – 20x + 10x = 20
7x – 20x + 10x = 20 + 13, Simplifying,
– 3x = 33
3x = – 33
x = \(\frac{-33}{3}\) = – 11
x = – 11

Answer:

40°
Hint:
Given angles are in the ratio 2:3:4
Let the angles be 2x, 3x & 4x
Since sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°,
We get 2x + 3x + 4x = 180
∴ 9x = 180
∴ x = \(\frac{180}{9}\) = 20°
∴ The angles are 2x = 2 × 20 = 40°
3x = 3 × 20 = 60°
4x = 4 × 20 = 80°
∴ Difference between greatest & smallest angle is
80° – 40° = 40°

y = \(\frac{18}{6}\) = 3
∴ x = 7y = 7 × 3 = 21
The number are 3 & 21

Q.41The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 75. Which is the largest among them?v
Answer:

Given sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 75
Odd numbers are 1,3,5,7,9, 11, 13
∴ The difference between 2 consecutive odd numbers is always 2. or in other words, if one odd number is x, the next odd number would be x + 2 and the next number would be x + 2 + 2x + 4
i.e x + 4
Since sum of 3 consecutive odd nos is 75
∴ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 75
∴ 3x + 6 = 75 ⇒ 3x = 75 – 6
∴ 3x = 69
x = \(\frac{69}{3}\) = 23
∴ The odd numbers are 23, 23 + 2, 23 + 4
i.e 23, 25, 27
∴ Largest number is 27.

Q.42The length of a rectangle is \(\frac{1}{3}\) rd of its breadth. If its perimeter is 64 m, then find the length and breadth of the rectangle.v
Answer:

Let length & breadth of rectangle be ‘l’ and ‘b’ respectively
Given that length is \(\frac{1}{3}\) of breadth,
∴ l = \(\frac{1}{3}\) × b ⇒ l = \(\frac{b}{3}\) ⇒ b = 3l ……. (1)Also given that perimeter is 64 m
Perimeter = 2 × (l + b)
2 × 1 + 2 × b = 64
Substituting for value of b from (1), we get
2l + 2(3l) = 64
∴ 2l + 6l = 64
8l = 64
∴ l = \(\frac{64}{8}\) = 8m
b = 3l = 3 × 8 = 24m
Ienglh l = 8 m in & breadth b = 24 m

Q.43A total of 90 currency notes, consisting only of ₹ 5 and ₹ 10 denominations, amount to ₹ 500. Find the number of notes in each denomination.v
Answer:

Let the number of ₹ 5 notes be ‘x’
And number of ₹ 10 notes be ‘y’
Total numbers of notes is x + y = 90 (given)
The total value of the notes is 500 rupees.
Value of one ₹ 5 rupee note is 5
Value of x ₹ 5 rupee notes is 5 × x = 5x
∴ Value of y ₹ 10 rupee flotes is 10 × y = lOy
∴ The total value is 5x + 10y which is 500
∴ we have 2 equations:
x + y = 90 ….(1)
5x + 10y = 500 ….(2)
Multiplying both sides of(1) by 5, we get
5 × x + 5 × y = 90 × 5
5x + 5y = 450
Subtracting (3) from (2), we get∴ y = \(\frac{50}{5}\) = 10
Substitute y = 10 in equation (1)
x + y = 90 ⇒ x + 10 = 90 ⇒ x = 90 – 10 ⇒ x = 80
There are ₹5 denominations are 80 numbers and ₹10 denominations are 10 numbers

Q.44At present, Thenmozhi’s age is 5 years more than that of Murali’s age. Five years ago, the ratio of Then mozhi’s age to Murali’s age was 3 : 2. Find their present ages.v
Answer:

Let present ages of Thenmozhi & Murali be ‘t’ & ‘m’
Given that at present
Then mozhi’s age is 5 years more than Murali
∴ t = m + 5 …… (1)
5 years ago, Thenmozhi’s age would be t – 5
& Murali’s age would be m – 5
Ratio of their ages is given as 3 : 22(t – 5) = 3(m – 5)
2 × t – 2 × 5 = 3 × m – 3 × 5 ⇒ 2t – 10 = 3m – 15
Substituting for t from (1)
2(m + 5) – 10 = 3m – 152m = 3m – 15
3m – 2m = 15
m = 15
t = m + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20
∴ Present ages of Thenmozhi & Murali are 20 & 15

Q.45A number consists of two digits whose sum is 9. If 27 is subtracted from the original number, its djgit.s are interchanged. Find the original number.v
Answer:

Let the units/digit of a number be ‘u’ & tens digit of the number be ‘t’
Given that sum of it’s digits is 9
∴ t + u = 9 ……. (1)
If 27 is subtracted from original number, the digits are interchanged
The number is written as 10t + u
[Understand: Suppose a 2 digit number is 21
it can be written as 2 × 10 + 1
∴ 32 = 3 × 10 + 2
45 = 4 × 10 + 5
tu = t × 10 + u = 1ot + u]
Given that when 27 is subtracted, digits interchange
10t + u – 27 = 10u + t (number with interchanged digits)
∴ By transposition & bringing like variables together
10t – t + u – 10u = 27
∴ 9t – 9u = 27
Dividing by ‘9’ throughout , we get
\(\frac{9 t}{9}-\frac{9 u}{9}=\frac{27}{9}\) ⇒ t – u = 3 ……. (2)
Solving (1) & (2):t = 6 substitute in (1)
t + u = 9 ⇒ 6 + u = 9 ⇒ u = 9 – 6 = 3
Hence the number is 63.

Q.46The denominator of a fraction exceeds Its numerator by 8. If the numerator is increased by 17 and the denominator is decreased by 1, we get \(\frac{3}{2}\). Find the original fraction.v
Answer:

Let the numerator & denominator be ‘n’ & ‘d’
Given that denominator exceeds numerator by 8
∴ d = n + 8 ……. (1)
If numerator increased by 17 & denominator decreased by 1,
it becomes (n + 17) & (d – 1), fraction is \(\frac{3}{2}\).2(n + 17) = 3(d – 1)
2n + 2 × 17 = 3d – 3∴ 34 + 3 = 3d – 2n
∴ 3d – 2n = 37 …….. (2)
Substituting eqn. (1) in (2), we get,
3 × (n + 8) – 2n = 37
3n + 3 × 8 – 2n = 37∴ n = 37 – 24 = 13
d = n + 8 = 13 + 8 = 21
The fraction is \(\frac{n}{d}=\frac{13}{21}\)

Q.47If a train runs at 60 km/hr it reaches its destination late by 15 minutes. But, if it runs at 85 kmph it is late by only 4 minutes. Find the distance to be covered by the train.v
Answer:

Let the distance to be covered by train be ‘d’Case 1:
If speed = 60km/h
The time taken is 15 minutes more than usual (t + \(\frac{15}{60}\))
Let usual time taken be ‘t’ hrs.
Caution: Since speed is given in km/hr, we should take care to maintain all units such as time should be in hour and distance should be in kin.
Given that in case 1, it takes 15 min. more
15m = \(\frac{15}{60}\) hr = \(\frac{1}{4}\)hr.
∴ Substituting in formula,Since usually it takes ‘t’ hr, but when running at 60 k, it kes 15 min (\(\frac{1}{4}\)hr) extra.
Multiplying by 60 on both sides
d = 60 × t + 60 × \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 6ot + 15 …… (1)
Case 2:
Speed is given as 85 km/h
Time taken is only 4 min (\(\frac{4}{60}\)hr) more than usual time
∴ time taken = (t + \(\frac{1}{15}\)) hr. \(\left(\frac{4}{60}=\frac{1}{15}\right)\)
Using the formula,Multiplying by 85 on both sides
\(\frac{d}{85}\) × 85 = 85 × t + 85 × \(\frac{1}{15}\)
∴ d = 85t + \(\frac{17}{3}\) ….. (2)
From (1) & (2), we will solve for ‘r’
Equating & eliminating ‘d’ we get∴ By transposing, we getSubstituting this value of ‘t’ in eqn. (1), we get
d = 60t + 15
= 60 × \(\frac{28}{75}\) + 15 = \(\frac{1680}{75}\) + 15 = 22.4 + 15
= 37.4 km

∴ half of number is \(\frac{x}{2}\)
Sum of number and it’s half is given by
x + \(\frac{x}{2}\) = 30 [Multiplying by 2 on both sides]
2x + x = 30 × 2
3x = 60
x = \(\frac{60}{3}\) = 20

Q.68Will a line pass through (2, 2) if it intersects the axes at (2, 0) and (0, 2).v
Answer:

Given a line intersects the axis at (2, 0) & (0, 2)
Let line intercept form be expressed as
ax + by = 1 Where a & b are the x & y intercept respectively.
Since the intercept points are (2. 0) & (0, 2)
a = 2, b = 2
∴ 2x + 2y = 1
When the point (2. 2) is considered & substituted in the equation
2x + 2y = 1, we get
2 × 2 + 2 × 2 = 4 ≠ 1
∴ the point (2. 2) does not satisfy the equation. Therefore the line does not pass through (2, 2)
Alternatively graphical methodas we can see the line doesn’t pass through (2, 2)

Q.69A line passing through (4, – 2) and intersects the Y-axis at (0, 2). Find a point on the line in the second quadrant.v

Therefore, we get S to be (5, -4)
[Note: We don’t need graph sheet for approximate plotting. This is just for graphical understanding]

Q.71A line passes through (6, 0) and (0, 6) and an another line passes through (-3, 0) and (0, -3). What are the points to be joined to get a trapezium?v
Answer:

In a trapezium. there are 2 opposite sides that are parallel. The other opposite sides are non-parallel.
Now, let us approximately plot the points for our understanding
[no need of graph sheet]Plot the points (0, 6), (6, 0), (-3, 0) & (0, -3)
Join (0, 6) & (6, 0)
Join (-3,0) & (0, – 3)
We find that the lines formed by joining the points are parallel lines.
So, for forming a trapezium, we should join (0, 6), (-3, 0) & (0, -3), (6, 0)

Q.72Find the point of intersection of the line joining points (- 3, 7) (2, – 4) and (4, 6) (- 5, – 7).Also find the point of intersection of these lines and also their intersection with the axis.v
Answer:

Equation of line joining 2 points by 2 point formula is given byCross multiplying, we getTransposing the variables, we get
11 x + 5 y = 35 – 33 = 2
11 x + 5y = 2 – Line 1
Similarly, we should find out equation of second line∴ 9y – 54 = 13x – 52
∴ 9y – 13x = 2 – Line 2
For finding point of intersection, we need to solve the 2 line equation to find a point that will satisfy both the line equations.
∴ Solving for x & y from line 1 & line 2 as below
11x + 5y = 2 ⇒ multiply both sides by 13,
11 × 13x + 5 × 13y = 26 …….. (3)
Line 2: 9y – 13x = 2 ⇒ multiply both sides by 11
9 × 11y – 13 × 11x = 22 ……… (4)∴ 164 y = 48
∴ y = \(\frac{48}{164}=\frac{12}{41}\)
Substituting this value ofy in line I we get
11 x + 5 y = 2
11 x + 5 × \(\frac{12}{41}\) = 2
11 x = 2 – \(\frac{60}{41}=\frac{82-60}{41}=\frac{22}{41}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{2}{41}\)
[∴ Point of intersection is \(\left(\frac{2}{41}, \frac{12}{41}\right)\)]
To find point of intersection of the lines with the axis, we should substitute values & check
Line 1: 11 x + 5 y = 2
Point of intersection of line with x – axis, i.e y coordinate is ‘0’
∴ put y = 0 in above equation
∴ 11 x – 5 × 0 = 2
∴ 11x + 0 = 2
∴ x = \(\frac{2}{11}\)
∴ [Point is \(\left(\frac{2}{11}, 0\right)\)]
Similarly, Point of intersection of line with y – axis is when x-coordinate becomes ‘0’
∴ put x = 0 in above equation
∴ 11 × 0 + 5y = 2
∴ 0 + 5y = 2
y = \(\frac{2}{5}\)
∴ [Point is \(\left(0, \frac{2}{5}\right)\)]
Similarly for line 2,
9y – 13x = 2
For finding x intercept, i.e point where line meets x axis, we know that y coordinate becomes ‘0’
∴ Substituting y = 0 in above eqn. we get
9 × 0 – 13x = 2
∴ 0 – 13x = 2
∴ x = \(\frac{-2}{13}\)
∴ [Point: \(\left(\frac{-2}{13}, 0\right)\)]
Similarly for y – intercept, x – coordinate becomes ‘0’,
∴ Substituting for x = 0 in above equation, we get
9 y – 13 × 0 = 2
9y – 0 = 2
9y = 2
y = \(\frac{2}{9}\)
[Point \(\left(0, \frac{2}{9}\right)\)]

Q.73Draw the graph of the following equations: (i) x = – 7 (ii) y = 6v
Answer:

Q.74Draw the graph of (i) y = – 3x (ii ) y = x – 4 (ii) y = 2x + 5v
Answer:

To draw graph, we need to find out some points.
(i) y = – 3x
for y = -3x, let us first substituting values & check
put x = 0
y = 3 × 0 = 0
∴ (0,0) is a point
put x = 1
y = -3 × 1 = – 3
∴ (1, – 3) is a point
If join these 2 points, we will get the line
(ii) y = x – 4
for y = x – 4
put x = 0
y = 0 – 4 = – 4
∴ (0, – 4) is a point
x = 4
y = 4 – 4 = 0
∴ (4, 0) is a point
(iii) y = 2x + 5
for y = 2x + 5
put x = – 1
y = 2(-1) + 5 = – 2 + 5 = 3
∴ (-1, 3) is a point
put x = – 2
y = 2(-2) + 5 = – 4 + 5 = 1
∴ (-2, 1) is a point
Now let us plot the points & join them on graph

Q.75The sum of three numbers is 58. The second number is three times of two-fifth of the first number and the third number is 6 less than the first number. Find the three numbers.v
Answer:

Here what we know
a + b + c = 58 (sum of three numbers is 58)
Let the first number be b ‘x’
b = a + 3 (the second number is three times of of the first \(\frac{2}{5}\) number)
b = 3 × \(\frac{2}{5}\)x \(\frac{6}{5}\)x
Third number = x – 6
Sum of the numbers is given as 58.
∴ x + \(\frac{6}{5}\)x + (x – 6) = 58
Multiplying by 5 throughout, we get
5 × x + 6x + 5 × (x – 6) = 58 × 5
5x + 6x + 5x – 30 = 290
∴ 16x = 290 + 30
∴ 16x = 320
∴ x = \(\frac{320}{16}\)
x = 20
1 st number = 203 rd number = 24 – 16 = 14

Q.76In triangle ABC, the measure of ∠B is two-third of the measure of ∠A. The measure of ∠C is 200 more than the measure of ∠A. Find the measures of the three angles.v
Answer:

Let angle ∠A be a°
Given that ∠B = \(\frac{2}{3}\) × ∠A = \(\frac{2}{3}\)a
& given ∠C = ∠A + 20 = a + 20
Since A, B & C are angles of a triangle, they add up to 180° (∆ property)
∴∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒a + \(\frac{2}{3}\)a + a + 20 = 180°
\(\frac{3 a+2 a+3 a}{3}\) + 20 = 180°
\(\frac{8 a}{3}\) = 180 – 20 = 160
∴ a = \(\frac{160 \times 3}{8}\) = 60°∠C = 80°

Q.77Two equal sides of an isosceles triangle are 5y – 2 and 4y + 9 units. The third side is 2y + 5 units. Find ‘y’ and the perimeter of the triangle.v
Answer:

Given that 5y – 2 & 4y + 9 are the equal sides of an isosceles triangle.
∴ The 2 sides are equal∴5y – 4y = 9 + 2 (by transposing)
∴ y = 11
∴ 1 st side = 5y – 2 = 5 × 11 – 2 = 55 – 2 = 53
2 nd side = 53 .
3 rd side = 2y + 5 = 2 × 11 + 5 = 22 + 5 = 27
Perimeter is the sum of all 3 sides
∴ P = 53 + 53 + 27 = 133 units

Answer:

Let the 3 consecutive integers be ‘x’, ‘x + 1’ & ‘x + 2’
Given that when multiplied by 2, 3 & 4 respectively & added up, we get 74Simplifying the equation, we get
2x + 3x + 3 + 4x + 8 = 74
9x + 11 = 63
9x = 63 ⇒ x = \(\frac{63}{9}\) = 7
First number = 7
Second numbers = x + 1 ⇒ 7 + 1 = 8
Third numbers = x + 2 ⇒ 7 + 2 = 9
∴ The numbers are 7, 8 & 9

Q.79331 students went on a field trip. Six buses were filled to capacity and 7 students had to travel in a van. How many students were there in each bus?v
Answer:

Let the number of students in each bus be ‘x’
∴ number of students in 6 buses = 6 × x = 6x
A part from 6 buses, 7 students went in van
A total number of students is 331
∴ 6x + 7 = 331
∴ 6x = 331 – 7 = 324
∴ x = \(\frac{324}{6}\) = 54
∴ There are 54 students in each bus.

Q.80A mobile vendor has 22 items, some which are pencils and others are ball pens. On a particular day, he is able to sell the pencils and ball pens. Pencils are sold for ₹ 15 each and ball pens are sold at ₹ 20 each. If the total sale amount with the vendor is ₹ 380, how many pencils did he sell?v
Answer:

Let vendor have ‘p’ number of pencils & ‘b’ number of ball pens
Given that total number of items is 22
∴ p + b = 22
Pencils are sold for ₹ 15 each & ball pens for ₹ 20 each
total sale amount = 15 × p + 20 × b
= 15p + 20b which is given to be 380.
∴ 15p + 20b = 380
Dividing by 5 throughout,
\(\frac{15 p}{5}+\frac{20 b}{5}\) = \(\frac{380}{5}\) ⇒ – 3p + 4b = 76
Multiplying equation (1) by 3 we get
3 × p + 3 × b = 22 × 3
⇒ 3p + 3b = 66
Equation (2) – (3) gives∴ b = 10
∴ p = 12
He sold 12 pencils

Q.81Draw the graph of the lines y = x, y = 2x, y = 3x and y = 5x on the same graph sheet. Is there anything special that you find in these graphs?v
Answer:

(i) y = x
(ii) y = 2x,
(iii) y = 3x
(iv) y = 5x(i) y = x
When x = 1, y = 1
x = 2, y = 2
x = 3, y = 2
(ii) y = 2x
When x = 1, y = 2
x = 2, y = 4
x = 3, y = 6
(iii) y = 3x
When x = 1, y = 3
x = 2, y = 6
x = 3, y = 9
(i) y = 5x
When x = 1, y = 5
x = 2, y = 10
x = 3, y = 15
When we plot the above points & join the points to form line, we notice that the lines become progressively steeper. In other words, the slope keeps increasing.

Q.86A tin had ‘x’ litre oil. Another tin had (3x 2 + 6x – 5) litre of oil. The shopkeeper added (x + 7) litre more to the second tin. Later he sold (x 2 + 6) litres of oil from the second tin How much oil was left in the second tin?v
Answer:

Quantity of oil in the second tin = 3x 2 + 6x – 5 litres.
Quantity of oil added = x + 7 litres
∴ Total quantity of oil in the second tin
= (3x 2 + 6x – 5) + (x + 7)litres
= 3x 2 + (6x + x) + (-5 + 7) = 3x 4 + (6 + 1)x + 2
= 3x 2 + 7x + 2litres
Quantity of oil sold = x 2 + 6 litres
∴ Quantity of oil left in the second tin
= (3x 2 + 7x + 2) – (x 2 + 6) = (3x 2 – x 2 ) + 7x + (2 – 6)
= (3 – 1)x 2 + 7x + (-4) = 2x 2 + 7x – 4
Quantity of oil left = 2x 2 + 7x – 4 litres
