An algebraic equation is an equality involving variables. It has an equality sign. The expression on the left of the equality sign is the Left Hand Side (LHS). The expression on the right of the equality sign is the Right Hand Side (RHS).
Example: 2x - 3 = 7
Here, 2x - 3 = LHS
           7 = RHS

Solve: 5x+ 9 = 5 + 3x
  • a)
    -2
  • b)
    -1
  • c)
    2
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

To solve the given equation, we need to isolate the variable x.

Given equation: 5x + 9 = 5(3x)

Step 1: Distribute the 5 on the right side of the equation:
5x + 9 = 15x

Step 2: Move all the terms containing x to one side of the equation by subtracting 5x from both sides:
9 = 15x - 5x

Simplifying the equation gives:
9 = 10x

Step 3: To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 10:
9/10 = x

Simplifying the fraction gives:
x = 0.9

Therefore, the correct answer is option A, -2.

Explanation:
The given equation is 5x + 9 = 5(3x). We can solve this equation step by step to find the value of x. By distributing the 5 on the right side, we get 5x + 9 = 15x. Next, we need to move all the terms containing x to one side of the equation. By subtracting 5x from both sides, we get 9 = 15x - 5x, which simplifies to 9 = 10x. To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 10, giving us 9/10 = x. Simplifying the fraction, we find that x = 0.9. However, this does not match any of the given answer choices. Therefore, the correct answer is none of these (d), not option A (-2).

Anita Menon answered
Given,

Sum of multiples of 7 = 357

Let the numbers be x, x + 7 , x + 14

ATP,

x + x + 7 + x + 14 = 357

3x + 21 = 357

3x = 357 - 21

3x = 336

x = 336/3

x = 112

Therefore,

the smallest multiple is x = 112 

A store has provision which would last for a certain number of men for 21 days. For one seventh of the men it will last for how many days?
  • a)
    147
  • b)
    158
  • c)
    129
  • d)
    174
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    • Let’s assume the original number of men is M.
    • The provisions last for 21 days for M men.
  • Calculate Total Provisions:
    • Total provisions can be represented as:
      • Total Provisions = Number of Men × Number of Days
      • So, Total Provisions = M × 21
  • Determine the New Scenario:
    • Now, only one-seventh of the original number of men will be consuming the provisions.
      • New Number of Men = M/7
  • Set Up the Equation for the New Scenario:
    • Let’s denote the number of days the provisions will last in the new scenario as D.
    • Using the proportionality:
      • New Number of Men × New Number of Days = Total Provisions
      • So, (M/7) × D = M × 21
  • Simplify the Equation:
    • Divide both sides of the equation by M to eliminate M:
      • D/7 = 21
  • Solve for D:
    • Multiply both sides by 7:
      • D = 21 × 7
      • D = 147

An MNC company employed 25 men to do the official work in 32 days. After 16 days, it employed 5 more men and work was finished one day earlier. If it had not employed additional men, it would have been behind by how many days?

    1 day
  • b)
    2 days
  • c)
    3 days
  • d)
    2.5 days
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Amit Kumar answered
Let 1 person do 1 unit of work in 1 day
When 25 people are employed, amount of work in 1 day = 25 units
Amount of work in 16 days = 25*16 = 400
After 16 days, 5 more people are employed and work is completed in 15 days
So work done in next 15 days = 30*15 = 450
If those 5 people are not employed , No. of days needed to complete 450 units of work = 450/25 = 18
But they were supposed to complete the work by 16 days
Hence 2 extra days are needed by 25 people.

The answer is c.

Aditi Saxena answered
Let the unit digit be y & tens digit be x.
Original number = (10x+y)
After interchanging the digits 
New number = (10y+x)
(10x+y) + (10y+x) = 110
11x +11y = 110
11(x+y)= 110
x+y = 110/11
x+y= 10          (1)
x= 10-y           (2)
(10x+y) - 10 = 4+ 5(x+y)
(10x+y) - 10 = 4+ 5(10)
(10x+y) = 4+ 50+10
(10x+y) = 64
10(10-y) +y = 64
100-10y +y= 64
100 -9y = 64
-9y = 64-100
-9y = -36
y= 36/9= 4
y= 4
putting the value of y in eqn 2
x= 10-y
x= 10-4
x= 6
Hence , the first number is 6 & second number is 4.
Original Number is 10x+y = 10* 6+4= 60+4= 64

    3
  • b)
    2
  • c)
    14
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Poulomi Shah answered
To solve the equation 7x = 21, we need to find the value of x that makes the equation true.

**Solution:**

Step 1: Divide both sides of the equation by 7 to isolate x.

7x/7 = 21/7

Simplifying, we have:

x = 3

Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the equation 7x = 21 is x = 3.

**Explanation:**

The equation 7x = 21 can be read as "7 times a number x is equal to 21." To solve for x, we need to find the value of x that satisfies this equation.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 7 is the first step in isolating x. By dividing by 7 on both sides, we cancel out the coefficient of x and obtain a simplified equation of x = 3.

This means that the value of x that makes the equation 7x = 21 true is x = 3. When we substitute x = 3 back into the original equation, we find that indeed 7 times 3 is equal to 21.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A: 3.

Pooja Shah answered
Let the number be x.
So, the other number is (x + 15).

2x = 80
x = 40
So, the numbers are 40 and 55.

Let units place digit be x. So tens place digit = 9 − x. 
∴ The original number = 10(9-x)+x = 90-10x + x=90 - 9x Now, after interchanging the digits, the number formed = 10 (x) + 9 - x = 9x + 9 
∴ According to question, we have 90 - 9x - 27 = 9x + 9 
⇒ −18x = −54 ⇒ x = 3
So, the original number 
= 90−9×3 = 63

(10x+y) - 10 = 4+ 5(x+y)

(10x+y) - 10 = 4+ 5(10)

(10x+y) = 4+ 50+10

(10x+y) = 64

10(10-y) +y = 64

100-10y +y= 64

100 -9y = 64

-9y = 64-100

-9y = -36

y= 36/9= 4

y= 4

putting the value of y in eqn 2

x= 10-y

x= 10-4

x= 6

Hence , the first number is 6 & second number is 4.

Original Number is 10x+y = 10 x 6+4= 60+4= 64

Problem Statement:

If 1/3 of a number is 10 less than the original number, then the number is _____.

a) 30

b) 15

c) 10

d) 27

Solution:

Let us assume that the number is 'x'.

As per the given problem statement,

1/3 of the number is 10 less than the original number.

i.e. 1/3 x = x - 10

Multiplying both sides by 3

x = 3(x - 10)

x = 3x - 30

Bringing x terms to one side and constant terms to the other

2x = 30

Dividing by 2 on both sides

x = 15

Therefore, the original number is 15.

Answer: (b) 15

  • a)
    4
  • b)
    8
  • c)
    10
  • d)
    6
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

2x/3 + 1 = 7x/15 + 3 => 2x/3 -- 7x/15 = 3 -- 1 => 10x -- 7x/15 = 2 => 3x/15 = 2 => 3x = 2 × 15 => 3x = 30 => x = 30/3 => x = 10

Ashwin Jain answered
Let she thoughts the no x
according to question ,she subtract the 5/2 from the no.= x-5/2
now ,she multiply the result by 8 =8(x-5/2)
according to statement
3x = 8(x-5/2)
3x=8x -20
20=5x
x=4
she thought the no. as 4

Solve: 4(y−2)+3=2(y+1)+5

    6
  • b)
    4
  • c)
    3
  • d)
    2
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 8 answered
Expanding both sides:
4y−8+3=2y+2+5
4y−5=2y+7
Transposing 2y to LHS and −5 to RHS:
4y−2y=7+5
2y=12
Dividing by 2:
y=6
Therefore, option (A) is correct.

EduRev Class 8 answered
We have 4x + 5 = 9
⇒ 4x = 9 – 5 (Transposing 5 to RHS)
⇒ 4x = 4
⇒ x = 1 (Transposing 4 to RHS)
