(vii) One-fourth of a number x minus 4 gives

(viii) If you take away 6 from 6 times y, you get 60.

(ix) If you add 3 to one-third of z, you get 30.

Explanation

Solution:

i) The sum of the number x and 4 is 9

Sum means addition which can be symbolized by “+”

So, we can write x+4

And the summation is equal to 9

So, x+4=9

(ii) Here by subtracting 2 from y we can obtain 8

Subtraction can be symbolized as “- “

So, we can write y-2

And this is equal to 8

So, y-2=8

(iii) Here it is given that ten times a is 70

Now Ten times a means multiplication of 10 with a 

Which is 10×a

Now, this is equal to 70Three

So, 10×a=70

(iv) here it is given that number b divided by 5 gives 6

b divided by 5 can be written as b/5

and this will give 6

so, (b/5) =6

(v) Here three-fourth of t is 15

Now, three fourth means ¾, and it is three-fourth of t

Which means ¾t, and this value is equal to 15

So, ¾t = 15

(vi) Here seven times m plus 7 gets us 77

Now, seven times m plus seven is equal to 7m+7

And this value is equal to 77

So, 7m+7=77

(iii) The teacher tells the class that the highest marks obtained by a student in her class are twice the lowest marks plus 7. The highest score is 87 (Take the lowest score to be l).

(iv) In an isosceles triangle, the vertex angle is twice either base angle (Let the base angle be b in degrees. Remember that the sum of angles of a triangle is 180 degrees).

Solution: 

i) Here in the question, it is given that

Number of Parmit’s marbles = m

Then, from the question 7 marbles Irfan has which is more than five times the marbles Parmit has.

= 5 × Number of Parmit’s marbles + 7 = Total number of marbles Irfan having

= (5 × m) + 7 = 37

= 5m + 7 = 37

So, the equation we obtained is 5m+7=37.

(ii) Here in the question, it is given that

Take Laxmi’s age = y years old

Then, Lakshmi’s father is 49 years old and he is 4 years older than three times her age.

= 3 × Laxmi’s age + 4 = Age of Lakshmi’s father

= (3 × y) + 4 = 49

= 3y + 4 = 49

So, the equation we obtained is 3y+4=49.

(iii) Here in the question, it is given that

The highest score in the class is 87

Take the lowest score as l.

= 2 × Lowest score + 7 = Highest score in the class

= 2l + 7 = 87

So, the equation obtained is 2l+7=87.

(iv) Here in the question, it is given that

To take the base angle as b.

And as we know that the sum of all the three angles of a triangle is 180o

Then, 

Vertex angle = 2 × base angle = 2b

= b + b + 2b = 180o

= 4b = 180o

So, the equation we obtained is 4b = 180

= 7m = 13 – (19/2)

= 7m = (26 – 19)/2

= 7m = 7/2

Now to obtain the value of m multiply both the side of the equation by 5.

(e) 4(2 – x) = 8

Explanation

Solution:

a)Here to find the value of the x divide both the side of the equation by 2.

= (2(x + 4))/2 = 12/2

= x + 4 = 6

Now subtract 4 from both the side of the equation.

= x = 6 – 4

= x = 2

So, the value of x is 2.

(b) Here to find the value of the n divide both the side of the equation by 3.

= (3(n – 5))/3 = 21/3

= n – 5 = 7

Now, take 5 on the left-hand side to the right-hand side.

= n = 7 + 5

= n = 12

So, the value of n is 12.

(c) Here to find the value of the n divide both the side of the equation by 3.

= (3(n – 5))/3 = – 21/3

= n – 5 = -7

Now, take 5 on the left-hand side to the right-hand side.

= n = – 7 + 5

= n = – 2

So, the value of n is -2.

(d)Here to find the value of the x divide both the side of the equation by -4.

= (-4(2 + x))/ (-4) = 8/ (-4)

= 2 + x = -2

= x = – 4

So, the value of x is -4.

(e) Here to find the value of the x divide both the side of the equation by 4.

= (4(2 – x))/ 4 = 8/ 4

= 2 – x = 2

Now, take 2 on the left-hand side to the right-hand side.

(c) 16 = 4 + 3(t + 2)

(d) 4 + 5(p – 1) =34

(e) 0 = 16 + 4(m – 6)

Explanation

Solution:

a)Here to find the value of the p divide both the side of the equation by 5.

= 4/5 = (5(p – 2))/5

= 4/5 = p -2

Now, take 2 on the right-hand side to the left-hand side.

= (4/5) + 2 = p

= (4 + 10)/ 5 = p

= p = 14/5

So, the value of p is 14/5.

(b) Here to find the value of the p divide both the side of the equation by 5.

= -4/5 = (5(p – 2))/5

= -4/5 = p -2

Now, take 2 on the right-hand side to the left-hand side.

= – (4/5) + 2 = p

= (- 4 + 10)/ 5 = p

= p = 6/5

So, the value of p is 6/5.

(c) Here, we can move 4 from the right-hand side to the left-hand side.

= 16 – 4 = 3(t + 2)

= 12 = 3(t + 2)

Now to find the value of the t divide both the side of the equation by 3.

= 12/3 = (3(t + 2))/ 3

= 4 = t + 2

Now subtract 2 from both the side of the equation.

= 4 – 2 = t

= t = 2

So, the value of t is 2.

(d) Here, we can move 4 from the left-hand side to the right-hand side.

= 5(p – 1) = 34 – 4

= 5(p – 1) = 30

Now to find the value of the p divide both the side of the equation by 5.

= (5(p – 1))/ 5 = 30/5

= p – 1 = 6

Now add 1 to both the side of the equation.

= p = 6 + 1

= p = 7

So, the value of p is 7.

(e) Here, we can move 16 from the right-hand side to the left-hand side.

= 0 – 16 = 4(m – 6)

= – 16 = 4(m – 6)

Now to find the value of the m divide both the side of the equation by 4.

= – 16/4 = (4(m – 6))/ 4

= – 4 = m – 6

Now add 6 to both the side of the equation.

= – 4 + 6 = m

= m = 2

So, the value of m is 2.

(b) Construct 3 equations starting with x = – 2

Explanation

Solution:

a)Here the equation given to us is x=2,

We have to create 3 equations from this equation.

Let’s create our first equation by multiplying both the side by 3.

= 3x = 6 … [equation 1]

To create second equation, add 5 on each side of the equation,

= 3x + 5 = 6 + 5

= 3x + 5 = 11 … [equation 2]

For third equation, divide both sides by 3.

= (3x/3) + (5/3) = (11/3)

= x + (5/3) = (11/3) … [equation 3]

(b) Here the equation given to us is x= -2,

We have to create 3 equations from this equation.

Let’s create our first equation by multiplying both the side by 3.

= 3x = -6 … [equation 1]

To create second equation, add 5 on each side of the equation,

= 3x + 5 = -6 + 5

= 3x + 5 = -1 … [equation 2]

For third equation, divide both sides by 3.

= (3x/3) + (5/3) = (-1/3)

= x + (5/3) = (-1/3) … [equation 3


15. Set up equations and solve them to find the unknown numbers in the following cases.

(b) One-fifth of a number minus 4 gives 3.

(c) If I take three-fourths of a number and add 3 to it, I get 21.

(d) When I subtracted 11 from twice a number, the result was 15.

(e) Munna subtracts thrice the number of notebooks he has from 50, and he finds the result to be 8.

(f) Ibenhal thinks of a number. If she adds 19 to it and divides the sum by 5, she will get 8.

(g) Anwar thinks of a number. If he takes away 7 from 5/2 of the number, the result is 23.

Explanation

Solution:

a)Here it is given that by adding 4 to eight times a number it will become 60.

So, let’s suppose that the number is y.

Eight times a number = 8y

Now, according to the condition given in the question we can write,

= 8y + 4 = 60

We get the required equation.

Now, to solve the equation subtract 4 from both the side of the equation.

= 8y = 60 – 4

= 8y = 56

To find the value of y, divide both the sides of the equation by 8.

= (8y/8) = 56/8

= y = 7

So, the equation is 8y + 4 = 60 and the value of y = 7.

(b) Here it is given that by subtracting 4 from one-fifth of a number it will become 3.

So, let’s suppose that the number is y.

One-fifth of a number = (1/5) y = y/5

Now, according to the condition given in the question we can write,

= y/5 - 4 = 3

We get the required equation.

Now, to solve the equation add 4 to both the side of the equation.

= y/5 = 3 + 4

= y/5 = 7

To find the value of y, multiply both the sides of the equation by 5.

= (5y/5) = 7×5

= y = 35

So, the equation is y/5 - 4 = 3 and the value of y = 35.

(c) Here it is given that by adding 4 to three-fourth of a number it will give 21.

So, let’s suppose that the number is y.

Three-fourth of a number = (3/4) y = 3y/4

Now, according to the condition given in the question we can write,

= 3y/4 + 3 = 21

We get the required equation.

Now, to solve the equation subtract 3 from both the side of the equation.

= 3y/4 =21 - 3

= 3y/4 = 18

To find the value of y, multiply both the sides of the equation by 4 and simultaneously divide them by 3.

= (3y/4) × 4 = 18 × 4

= 3y = 72

= (3y/3) = 72/3

= y = 24

So, the equation is 3y/4 + 3 = 21 and the value of y = 24.

(d) Here it is given that by subtracting 11 from twice a number it will give 15.

So, let’s suppose that the number is y.

Twice of a number = 2y

Now, according to the condition given in the question we can write,

= 2y - 11 = 15

We get the required equation.

Now, to solve the equation add 11 to both the side of the equation.

= 2y = 15+11

= 2y = 26

To find the value of y, divide both the sides of the equation by 2.

= (2y/2) = 26/2

= y = 13

So, the equation is 2y - 11 = 15 and the value of y = 13.


(e) Here it is given that Munna subtracted thrice the number of notebooks ha has from 50.

So, let’s suppose that the number of notebooks is y.

Thrice the number of notebooks = 3y

Now, according to the condition given in the question we can write,

= 50 - 3y = 8

We get the required equation.

Now, to solve the equation subtract 50 from both the side of the equation.

= -3y = 8 - 50

= -3y = -42

To find the value of y, divide both the sides of the equation by -3.

= y = (-42)/ (-3)

= y = 14

So, the equation is 50 - 3y = 8 and the value of y = 14.

(f) Here it is given that Ibenhal first adding 19 to the number then dividing whole number by 5 to get 8.

So, let’s suppose that the number is y.

Adding 19 to the number then dividing whole sum by 5= (y+19)/5.

Now, according to the condition given in the question we can write,

= (y+19)/5=8

We get the required equation.

Now, to solve the equation multiply 5 on both the side of the equation.

= ((y + 19)/5) × 5 = 8 × 5

= y + 19 = 40

To find the value of y, subtract 19 from both the sides of the equation.

= y = 40 – 19

= y = 21

So, the equation is (y+19)/5=8 and the value of y = 21.

(g) Here it is given that by subtracting 7 from 5/2 of a number it will become 23.

So, let’s suppose that the number is y.

5/2 of a number = (5/2) y = 5y/2

Now, according to the condition given in the question we can write,

= 5y/2 - 7 = 23

We get the required equation.

Now, to solve the equation add 7 to both the side of the equation.

= 5y/2 = 23 + 7

= 5y/2 = 30

To find the value of y, multiply both the sides of the equation by 2 and simultaneously divide it by 5.

= ((5/2) y) × 2 = 30 × 2

= 5y = 60

= 5y/5 = 60/5

= y = 12

So, the equation is 5y/2 - 7 = 23 and the value of y = 12.


16. Solve the following.

(a) The teacher tells the class that the highest marks obtained by a student in her class are twice the lowest marks plus 7. The highest score is 87. What is the lowest score?

(b) In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal. The vertex angle is 40°.What are the base angles of the triangle? (Remember, the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°.)

(c) Sachin scored twice as many runs as Rahul. Together, their runs fell two short of a double century. How many runs did each one score?

Explanation

Solution:

a)The highest score in the class is 87 and let’s suppose that the lowest marks in the class is y.

Here it is given that by adding 7 to twice the lowest marks will be equal to the highest marks in the class.

Twice of lowest marks = 2y

Now, according to the condition given in the question we can write,

= 2y + 7 = 87

We get the required equation.

Now, to solve the equation subtract 7 from both the side of the equation.

= 2y = 87 - 7

= 2y = 80

To find the value of y, divide both the sides of the equation by 2.

= 2y/2 = 80/2

= y = 40

So, the equation is 2y + 7 = 87 and the value of y = 40.

Therefore, the lowest score in the class is 40.

(b) As we know that in an isosceles triangle the base angles are same and from the properties of the triangle, we know that the sum of angles 180o

So, Let’s suppose that the base angle be x.

= x + x + 40o = 180o

= 2x + 40 = 180o

Now, to obtain the value of x subtract 40 from both the side of the equation and after that divede the obtained equation by 2.

= 2x + 40 - 40 = 180 – 40

= 2x = 140

= 2x/2 = 140/2

= x = 70o

So, the obtained base angle of an isosceles triangle is 70o.

(c) Here it is given that run scored by Sachin is twice than the run score by Rahul and the together score runs two short of a double century,

Let’s suppose that the runs score by the Rahul is x.

So, the run score by the Sachin would be 2x.

Now, according to the condition given in the question we can write,

= 2x + x = 200 – 2

=3x = 198

We get the required equation.

Now, to solve the equation divide both the side of the equations by 3.

= 3x/3 = 198/3

= x = 66

So, the runs score by Rahul is 66.

And the runs score by Sachin is 2x = 2 × 66 = 132


17. Solve the following:

(i) Irfan says that he has 7 marbles, more than five times the marbles Parmit has.Irfan has 37 marbles. How many marbles does Parmit have?

(ii) Laxmi’s father is 49 years old. He is 4 years older than three times Laxmi’s age.What is Laxmi’s age?

(iii) People of Sundargram planted trees in the village garden. Some of the trees were fruit trees. The number of non-fruit trees was two more than three times the number of fruit trees. What was the number of fruit trees planted if the number of non-fruit trees planted was 77?

Explanation

Solution:

I)Here it is given that Irfan has 37 marbles which is 7 marbles more than five times the marble Parmit.

So, let’s suppose that Parmit has x marbles.

We can write from the condition given in the equation

= 5 × Number of Parmit’s marbles + 7 = Number of Irfan’s marbles

= (5 × x) + 7 = 37

= 5x + 7 = 37

Now to solve the obtained equation subtract 7 from both the side.

= 5x +7 -7 = 37 – 7

= 5x = 30

To find the value of x divide both sides by 5.

= 5x/5 = 30/5

= x = 6

So, there are total 6 marbles Permit has.

(ii) Here the age of Laxmi’s father is given as 49 years.

Let’s suppose that the age of Laxmi is x.

Now, from the condition given in the question, the age of Laxmi’s father is 4 more than three times Laxmi’s age,

So, we can write 

= 3 × Laxmi’s age + 4 = Age of Lakshmi’s father

= (3 × x) + 4 = 49

= 3x + 4 = 49

To solve the obtained equation, subtract 4 from both the side.

= 3x +4 -4 = 49 – 4

= 3x = 45

To obtain the value of x divide both sides by 3.

= 3x/3 = 45/3

= x = 15

Hence, the age of Lakshmi is 15 years.

(iii) Here the number of non-fruit tree are given as 77.

So, let’s suppose that the number of fruit tree are x.

Now, the condition given in the question, number of non-fruit tree was two more than three times the number of fruit trees.

So, we can writer

3 × number of fruit trees + 2 = number of non-fruit trees

= 3x + 2 = 77

To solve the obtained equation, subtract 2 from both the side.

=3x +2 -2 = 77 – 2

= 3x = 75

To obtain the value of x divide both sides by 3.

= 3x/3 = 75/3

= x = 25

Hence, the number of fruit trees planted in the village garden was 25.

18. Solve the following riddle

I am a number,

Tell my identity!

Take me seven times over

And add a fifty!

To reach a triple century

You still need forty!

Solution:

Here in the question it is given that by taking seven times of a number and adding 50 to it we will obtain reach to triple century but also need to add 40 to reach up to 300.

Let’s suppose that the number is x.

So, by taking seven times over and adding fifty to it will give 7x + 50

But to reach up to triple century we still need to add forth

= (7x + 50) + 40 = 300

= 7x + 50 + 40 = 300

= 7x + 90 = 300

To solve the obtained equation, subtract 90 from both the side.

= 7x = 300 – 90

= 7x = 210

To obtain the value of x divide both sides by 7.

= 7x/7 = 210/7

= x = 30

So, the number is 30.
