A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, written in one variable. The only power of the variable is 1. Linear equations in one variable may take the form a x + b = 0, ax+b=0, ax+b=0 and are solved using basic algebraic operations

The cost of a pencil is thrice the cost of rubber.The equivalent linear equation in two variables of above statement is:
  • a)
    p = 3 -r
  • b)
    p =1/3 +r
  • c)
    p = 3r
  • d)
    p = 3 + r
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Krithika Sen answered
Explanation:
Let the cost of rubber be 'r' and the cost of pencil be 'p'.
The given statement states that:
The cost of a pencil is thrice the cost of rubber.
This can be written as:
p = 3r
This is the required linear equation in two variables.

Option Analysis:
a) p = 3 - r
This equation is not equivalent to the given statement. It states that the cost of pencil is equal to 3 minus the cost of rubber, which is not the same as stating that the cost of pencil is thrice the cost of rubber.

b) p = 1/3r
This equation is also not equivalent to the given statement. It states that the cost of pencil is equal to one-third of the cost of rubber, which is not the same as stating that the cost of pencil is thrice the cost of rubber.

c) p = 3r
This equation is the correct equivalent linear equation in two variables of the given statement.

d) p = 3 r
This equation is not equivalent to the given statement. It states that the cost of pencil is equal to 3 and the cost of rubber is equal to 'r', which is not the same as stating that the cost of pencil is thrice the cost of rubber.

Therefore, the correct option is (c) p = 3r.

Which of the following is a solution to the equation x=4?
  • a)
    (1, 4)
  • b)
    (2, 3)
  • c)
    (3, 4)
  • d)
    (4, 1)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Equation x = 4
The equation x = 4 indicates that the value of x is fixed at 4. This means that any point that is a solution to this equation must have its x-coordinate equal to 4.
Evaluating the Options
Let’s analyze each option to determine which one satisfies the equation:
  • a) (1, 4)
    - Here, the x-coordinate is 1.
    - Since 1 is not equal to 4, this point is NOT a solution.
  • b) (2, 3)
    - Here, the x-coordinate is 2.
    - Since 2 is not equal to 4, this point is NOT a solution.
  • c) (3, 4)
    - Here, the x-coordinate is 3.
    - Since 3 is not equal to 4, this point is NOT a solution.
  • d) (4, 1)
    - Here, the x-coordinate is 4.
    - Since 4 is equal to 4, this point IS a solution.

Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'D', (4, 1), because it is the only point among the given options where the x-coordinate matches the value specified in the equation x = 4. Thus, it satisfies the condition set by the equation.

Understanding the Equation
To determine which pair is a solution to the equation 3x - 2y = 7, we need to substitute each pair (x, y) into the equation and check if it holds true.
Evaluating the Options
Here are the given pairs:
  • a) (1, -2)
  • b) (-2, 1)
  • c) (5, 1)
  • d) (1, 5)

Substituting Each Pair
1. Option a: (1, -2)
- Substitute x = 1 and y = -2 into the equation:
- 3(1) - 2(-2) = 3 + 4 = 7
- This is correct, so (1, -2) is a solution.
2. Option b: (-2, 1)
- Substitute x = -2 and y = 1:
- 3(-2) - 2(1) = -6 - 2 = -8
- This is not equal to 7, so (-2, 1) is not a solution.
3. Option c: (5, 1)
- Substitute x = 5 and y = 1:
- 3(5) - 2(1) = 15 - 2 = 13
- This is not equal to 7, so (5, 1) is not a solution.
4. Option d: (1, 5)
- Substitute x = 1 and y = 5:
- 3(1) - 2(5) = 3 - 10 = -7
- This is not equal to 7, so (1, 5) is not a solution.
Conclusion
After evaluating all options, the only correct solution is:
Option a: (1, -2)
This confirms that the pair (1, -2) satisfies the equation 3x - 2y = 7.

- Since there are infinitely many points on a line, there are infinitely many solutions to the equation.
Hence, the correct answer is C: Infinite solutions.

Which of the following equations is linear equation in two variables?
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 9 answered
Option A, 2.4s + 3t = 7, is a linear equation because it has two variables sss and ttt, both with a power of 1, and follows the standard form of a linear equation ax + by + c = 0.
Option B contains t2, which makes it non-linear. Option C has x2, which violates the linear condition.
Option D includes 7/x, a rational term, which also disqualifies it as a linear equation.
Thus, the correct answer is Option A.

Understanding Linear Equations
Linear equations are mathematical expressions that represent straight lines when graphed on a coordinate plane. They typically take the form Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants, and x and y are variables.
Identifying Linear Equations
To determine which of the given options is not a linear equation, we need to analyze each one based on its structure:
  • a) 1/x + 1/y = 4
    • This equation involves the variables x and y in the denominators.
    • Since it cannot be rewritten in the form Ax + By = C, it is a non-linear equation.

  • b) 2x - 3y = 4/5
    • This equation can be rearranged into the standard linear form.
    • It is indeed a linear equation.

  • c) 1/x - 1 + 1/y - 1 = 3
    • This equation can be manipulated to isolate x and y, but it remains non-linear due to the 1/x and 1/y terms.

  • d) 4x - 5y = 6
    • This equation is already in the standard linear form.
    • Thus, it is a linear equation.


Conclusion
Among the provided options, option 'a' (1/x + 1/y = 4) is the only equation that is not linear due to the presence of x and y in the denominators.

EduRev Class 9 answered
The linear equation (2x + 3y = 6) can be rewritten in the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
- Rearrange to (3y = -2x + 6) and then (y = - 2/3x + 2).
- This is a straight-line equation.
- A straight line has infinitely many points.
Thus, the equation has:
- Infinitely many solutions (C)

Which of the following equations is not linear equation :
  • a)
    2x + 3 = 7x – 2
  • b)
    2/3x + 5 = 3x – 4
  • c)
    x2 + 3 = 5x – 3
  • d)
    (x – 2)2 = x2 + 8
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 9 answered
Option (a):
2x + 3 = 7x – 2
  • Rearrange: 2x + 3 = 7x – 2
  • Here, x appears only with power 1.
This is a linear equation.
Option (b):
(2/3)x + 5 = 3x – 4
  • Coefficient 2/3 is just a number; it doesn’t affect the power.
  • Variable x is still to the power 1.
This is a linear equation.
Option (c):
x² + 3 = 5x – 3
  • Rearrange: x² – 5x + 6 = 0
  • Here, the highest power of x is 2.
This is not a linear equation (this is a quadratic equation).
Option (d):
(x – 2)² = x² + 8
  • Expand LHS: x² – 4x + 4 = x² + 8
  • The x² terms cancel, leaving: –4x + 4 = 8 → –4x = 4 → x = –1
  • After simplification, it becomes a linear equation.
This is a linear equation (even though it looked quadratic at first).

Rewriting the equation 7 = 3x in standard form ax + by + c = 0, what are the values of a, b, and c?

    a = 3, b = 1, c = −7
  • c)
    a = 3, b = 0, c = 7
  • d)
    a = −3, b = 0, c = 0
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 9 answered
The given equation is 7 = 3x. Rearranging it into the standard form ax + by + c = 0, we get
3x - 7 = 0.
Here, a = 3, b = 0, and c = -7.
Thus, the solution is a = 3, b = 0, c = -7.
