Page number: 139
Exercise 9A

Question 1:
Solution:
Let us assume the number to be x in all cases.
(i) 5x = 40
(ii) x + 8 = 15
(iii) 25 - x = 7
(iv) x - 5 = 3
(v) 3x - 5 =16
(vi) x - 12 = 24
(vil) 19 - 2x = 11
x
(viii) 7
8
(ix) 4x - 3 =17
(x) 6x = x + 5

Question 2:
Solution:
(i) 7 less from the number x is 14.
(ii) Twice the number y is 18.
(iii) 11 added to thrice the number x is 17.
(iv) 3 less from twice the number x is 13.
(v) 12 times the number y decreased by 30 is 6.
(vi) Twice the number z divided by 3 is 8.

Question 3:
Solution:

www.vedantu.com 1
(i) Substitute the value of x = 4 in the equation 3x - 5 = 7, we get
LHS = (3 * 4) – 5 = 12 – 5 = 7 = RHS. Hence x = 4 is the root of 3x - 5 = 7.

(ii) Substitute the value of x = 3 in 3 + 2x = 9,

LHS = 3 + (2 * 3) = 3 + 6 = 9 = RHS. Hence x = 3 is the root of 3 + 2x = 9.

(iii) Substitute the value of x = 2 in 5x - 8 = 2x – 2,

LHS = (5 * 2) - 8 = 10 - 8 = 2.
RHS = (2 * 2) – 2 = 4 – 2 = 2.
Since LHS = RHS, x = 2 is the root of 5x - 8 = 2x – 2.

(iv) Substitute y = 1 in 8 - 7y = 1, we get

LHS = 8 – (7 * 1) = 8 -7 = 1
RHS = 1.
Since LHS = RHS, y = 1 is the root of 8 - 7y = 1

z
(v) Substitute z = 56 in 8

z
LHS = 56 / 7 = 8 = RHS. Hence z = 56 is the root of 8

Question 21:
Solution:
Let x be the number of girls and y be the number of boys. So, x + 334 = y
Given x + y = 572. So, x + (x + 334) = 572 => 2x = 572 – 334 = 238. So, x = 119
The number of girls in the school is 119.

Question 22:
Solution:
Let x be the breadth of the park. Then the length is 3x.
The perimeter of the rectangular park is calculated as 2 (length + breadth) = 2 (x + 3x) = 8x =

So, x = 21. The breadth of the park is hence 21m and the length of the park is 63m.

Question 23:
Solution:
Let x be the breadth of the hall. Then the length is 5+x.
The perimeter of the rectangular hall is calculated as 2 (length + breadth) = 2 (x + 5+x) = 4x + 10

So, 4x = 64 => x = 16. The length of the hall is hence 21m and the breadth of the hall is 16m.

Question 24:

www.vedantu.com 16
Solution:
Let x be the breadth of the rectangle and length = x + 7.
The length of the wire covers the perimeter and is given by 2(x + x + 7) = 86. So, 2x = 43 – 7 =
36 => x = 18.
So, the length and breadth of the rectangle so formed are 25m and 18 m respectively.

Given 4x + 9 = 17 => 4x = 17 – 9 = 8 => x = 2.

Question 7:
Solution:
3(x + 2) – 2(x - 1) = 7 => 3x + 6 – 2x + 2 = 7 => x = 7 – 8 = -1. So, x = -1

Question 8:
Solution:
2x x 5 4 x  5x 5
      x  25.
5 2 2 10 2
So, x = -25.

Question 9:
Solution:
Let x be the number. So, x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 51 => 3x = 51 – 3 = 48 => x = 16.
So the three natural numbers are 16, 17 and 18.

Question 10:
Solution:
Let Seema’s present age by x.
(x + 16) = 3x => 2x = 16 => x = 8.
The present age is 8.

Question 11:
Solution:
(c) 1 exceeds 2x – 3y – 4 by 1- (2x - 3y – 4) = 5 - 2x + 3y.

Question 12:
Solution:
(b) The answer is calculated by subtracting 5 x3  2 x 2  6 x  7 from x 3  3 x 2  x  1

So, x  3x  x  1  (5 x  2 x  6 x  7)  4 x  5 x  7 x  6
3 2 3 2 3 2

Question 13:
Solution:
(a) 2x – [3y - {2x – (y – x)}] = 2x – [3y - {2x – y + x)}] = 2x – [3y - 3x + y}] = 2x – 3y + 3x – y
= 5x – 4y.

Question 14:
Solution:
(c )-5yz is the coefficient of x in -5 xyz.

Question 15:
Solution:
1
(c) (x + y + z) is a trinomial.
3

Question 16:
Solution:
x
(b) Given 1
5
So, x = 5

Question 17:

Solution:
(c) Given x = 1, y = 2 and z = 3, so

x 2

 y 2  z 2  1  4  9  14

Question 18:
Solution:
1 1
(c ) x +5 = 8 => x = 8 – 5 = 3 => x = 9
3 3

Question C. 19:
Solution:
(i) An expression having one term is called a monomial.
(ii) An expression having two terms is called a binomial.
(iii) An expression having three terms is called a trinomial.
(iv) 3x - 5 = 7 - x => x = 3 (since, 3x - 5 = 7 – x => 4x = 12 => x = 3)
(v) b 2
 a2    
 a 2 – b2 = 2b 2  2a 2 (since b2  a 2   a 2 + b2  2b2  2a 2 )

Question D. 20:
Solution:
(i) 3xy 2 z is a monomial. – T ( 3xy 2 z is a monomial)
2 2 4 19
(ii) x  is a solution of 2x + 5 = 8. – F (substituting x  in 2x + 5 = 8 we get  5 
3 3 3 3
which is not equal to 8.)
(iii) 2x + 3 = 5 is a linear equation. – T (it is a linear equation)
(iv) The coefficient of x in 5xy is 5. – F (the coefficient is 5y).
(v) 8 - x = 5 => x = 3. – T (as x = 8 – 5 = 3)
