Question 1.
State which of the following are equations (with a variable). Give reason for your answer. Identify the variable from the equations with a variable
(a) 17 = x + 7
(b) (t – 7) > 5
(c) $$\frac{4}{2}$$ = 2
(d) (7 × 3) – 19 = 8
(e) 5 × 4 – 8 = 2x
(f) x – 2 = 0
(g) 2m < 30
(h) 2n + 1 = 11

Question 3.
Pick out the solution from the values given in the bracket next to each equation. Show that the other values do not satisfy the equation.
(a) 5m = 60        (10, 5, 12, 15)
(b) n + 12 = 20      (12, 8, 20, 0)
(c) p – 5 = 5       (0, 10, 5, -5)

(e) r – 4 = 0     (4, -4, 8, 0)
(f) x + 4 = 2      (-2, 0, 2, 4)
Solution:
(a) 5m = 60
Putting the given values in L.H.S., we get
5 × 10 = 50
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ m = 10 is not the solution.
5 × 5 = 25
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ m = 5 is not the solution.
5 × 12 = 60
∵ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ m = 12 is a solution.
5 x 15 = 75
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ m = 15 is not the solution.

(b) n + 12 = 20
Putting the given values in L.H.S., we get
12 + 12 = 24
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ n = 12 is not the solution.
8 + 12 = 20
∵ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ n = 8 is a solution.
20 + 12 = 32
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ n = 20 is not the solution.
0 + 12 = 12
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ n = 0 is not the solution.

(c) p – 5 = 5
Putting the given values in L.H.S., we get
0 – 5 = -5
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ p = 0 is not the solution.
10 – 5 = 5
∵ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ p = 10 is a solution.
5 – 5 = 0
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ p = 5 is not the solution.
-5 – 5 = -10
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ p = -5 is not the solution.

(d) $$\frac{q}{2}$$ = 7
Putting the given values in L.H.S., we get
$$\frac{7}{2}$$
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ q = 7 is not the solution.
$$\frac{2}{2}$$ = 1
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ q = 2 is not the solution.
$$\frac{10}{2}$$ = 5
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ q = 10 is not the solution.
$$\frac{14}{2}$$ = 7
∵ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ q = 14 is a solution.

(e) r – 4 = 0
Putting the given values in L.H.S., we get
4 – 4 = 0
∵ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ r = 4 is a solution.
-4 – 4 = -8
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ r = -4 is not the solution.
8 – 4 = 4
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ r = 8 is not the solution.
0 – 4 = -4
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ r = 0 is not the solution.

(f) x + 4 = 2
Putting the given values in L.H.S., we get
-2 + 4 = 2
∵ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ x = -2 is a solution.
0 + 4 = 4
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ x = 0 is not the solution.
2 + 4 = 6
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ x = 2 is not the solution.
4 + 4 = 8
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ x = 4 is not the solution.

Question 5.
Solve the following riddles, you may yourself construct such riddles.
Who am I?
(i) Go round a square
Counting every corner
Thrice and no more!
To get exactly thirty four!

(ii) For each day of the week
Make an upcount from me
If you make no mistake
You will get twenty three!

(iii) I am a special number
Take away from me a six!
A whole cricket team
You will still be able to fix!

(iv) Tell me who I am
I shall give a pretty clue!
You will get me back
If you take me out of twenty two!
Solution:
(i) According to given information, we have
3(4) + x = 34 ⇒ 12 + x = 34
⇒ x = 34 – 12 ⇒ x = 22

(ii) According to given information, we have
x + 7 = 23
⇒ x = 23 – 7 ⇒ x = 16

(iii) According to given information, we have
x – 6 = 11
⇒ x = 11 + 6 ⇒ x = 17 .

(iv) According to given information, we have
x = 22-x ⇒ x + x = 22 ⇒ 2x = 22
⇒ x = $$\frac{22}{2}$$ ⇒ x = 11
