ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS AND IDENTITIES-ANSWER KEY

GRADE: 8

LEVEL 1
1. Fins the product of 18xy and 2x.
Ans: 36x2y
2. Find the area of a rectangle whose length is four times its breadth and the
breadth is 3a.
Ans: length=4 x breadth=4 x 3a =12a, Breadth=3a
Area = 12a x 3a =36 a2 sq units
3. Find the volume of a cuboid with the dimensions 2p, 2p2q2 and 3.5p3.
Ans: Volume = l x b x h = 2p x 2p2q2 x 3.5p3
= 14p6q2 Cubic units
4. Add: 3m (l – m – n) and 2n (m – n –l).
Ans: (3ml-3m2-3mn)+ (2nm-2n2-2nl) = 3ml-3m2-mn-2n2-2nl
5. Multiply (3a + 4) by (7a – 2).
Ans: 3a(7a-2) +4(7a-2)= 21a2 -6a +28a -8 = 21a2 +22a-8

6. Find the following products using identities:

a) (2t2 - 6p)2 = 4t4 -24t2p + 36p2
𝑎 3 2 𝑎 2 𝑎 3 3 2 𝑎2 9
b) [ + ] = [ ] + 2( x ) + [ ] = + 2+

c) (a - ) (a + ) = a2 -
4 4 16
d) (3t + 5)(3t - 4) = 9t2 + 3t -20

7. The cost of an article is represented by (3x2-18x+3). Find the total cost of

‘3x’ number of articles.
Ans: Total Cost = 3x x (3x2-18x+3) = 9x3-54x2+9x

8. Simplify the expression 4p(2p2-3p+1)-5p(-3p+2) and find its value for p=-2.
Ans: 8p3-12p2 + 4p + 15p2 -10p = 8p3 + 3p2 -6p
Value of the expression = 8(-2)3 + 3(-2)2 -6(-2) = -64+12+12= -40

9. The base of a parallelogram is (2x + 3) units and the corresponding height is

(3x – 2) units. Find the area of the parallelogram in terms of x. What will be
the area of parallelogram of x = 30 units?
Area of a parallelogram = b x h = (2x+3)x (3x-2) = (6x2 + 5x -6) square units
For x=30 units, Area = (6(30)2 + 5(30) -6) =5544 sq units

10. Using suitable identities, evaluate each of the following:

a) 102 x 103
b) (57)2 – (43)2
c) (96)2
d) 9.3 x 8.7
Ans: a) (100+2)(100+3) = 10506
b) (57)2 – (43)2 = ( 57+43) (57-43) =100 x 14 =1400
c) (100-4)2 =9216
d)(9+0.3)(9-0.3) = 80.91

11. Show that: (3xy -7yz)2 + 84xy2z = (3xy + 7yz)2.

LHS: 9x2y2 - 42xy2z + 49y2z2 + 84xy2z = 9x2y2 +42xy2z + 49y2z2
RHS: (3xy + 7yz)2 = 9x2y2 +42xy2z + 49y2z2

12. If 3y - = 7, find the value of 9y2 + .
3𝑦 9𝑦 2
1 2 1 1
Ans: [3𝑦 − ] = 72 , 9y2 – 2(3y)(3𝑦) + =49
3𝑦 9𝑦 2

9y2 -2 + =49, 9y2 + =49+2 =51
9𝑦 2 9𝑦 2

13. If a + b =7 and ab = 10, find a – b.

[𝑎 + 𝑏]2 = 72,
a2 +2ab +b2 =49, a2 +2(10) +b2 =49, a2 +b2 =49-20=29
[𝑎 − 𝑏]2 = a2 -2ab +b2 = a2 +b2 -2ab = 29-2(10) =29-20=9
[𝑎 − 𝑏]2 =9, a-b=3
