Ques 2: Check whether the value given in the brackets is a solution to the given equation or not:
(a) n + 5 = 19(n = 1)
(b) 7n + 5 = 19(n = -2)
(c) 7n + 5 = 19(n = 2)
(d) 4p - 3 = 13(p = 1)
(e) 4p - 3 = 13(p = -4)
(f) 4p - 3 = 13(p = 0)
Ans: (a) n + 5 = 19 (n = 1)
Putting n = 1 in L.H.S.,
1 + 5 = 6
∵ L.H.S. ≠R.H.S.,
∴ n = 1 is not the solution of given equation.
(b) 7n + 5 = 19(n = -2)
Putting n = -2 in L.H.S.,
7(-2) + 5 = -14 + 5 = -9
∵ L.H.S. ≠R.H.S.,
∴ n = -2 is not the solution of given equation.
(c) 7n + 5 = 19(n = 2)
Putting n = 2 in L.H.S.,
7(2) + 5 = 14 + 5 = 19
∵ L.H.S. = R.H.S.,
∴ n = 2 is the solution of given equation.
(d) 4p - 3 = 13(p = -4)
Putting p = 1 in L.H.S.,
4(1)-3 = 4-3 = 1
∵ L.H.S. ≠R.H.S.,
∴ p = 1 is not the solution of given equation.
(e) 4p-3 = 13 (p = -4)
Putting p = -4 in L.H.S.,
4(-4) - 3 = -16-3 = -19
∵ L.H.S. ≠R.H.S.,
∴ p = -4 is not the solution of given equation.
(f) 4p-3 = 13(p = 0)
Putting p = 0 in L.H.S.,
4(0)-3 = 0-3 = -3
∵ L.H.S. ≠R.H.S.,
∴ p = 0 is not the solution of given equation.

∵ -13≠17 Therefore, p = -3 is not the solution.
Putting p = -2 in L.H.S. 5(-2) +2 = -10+2 = -8
∵ -8≠17 Therefore, p = -2 is not the solution.
Putting p = -1 in L.H.S. 5(-1) + 2= -5 + 2 =-3
∵ -3≠17 Therefore, p = -1 is not the solution.
Putting p = 0 in L.H.S. 5(0)+ 2= 0 + 2 = 2
∵ 2≠17 Therefore, p = 0 is not the solution.
Putting p - 1 in L.H.S. 5(1) + 2= 5 + 2 = 7
∵ 7≠17 Therefore, p = 1 is not the solution.
Putting p = 2 in L.H.S. 5(2) + 2= 10+2 = 12
∵ 12≠17 Therefore, p = 2 is not the solution.
Putting p = 3 in L.H.S. 5(3)+ 2= 15 + 2 = 17
∵ 17 = 17 Therefore, p = 3 is the solution,
(ii) 3m-14 = 4
Putting m = -2 inL.H.S. 3(-2) -14 = -6-14 = -20
∵ -20 4 Therefore, m = -2 is not the solution.
Putting m = -1 in L.H.S- 3(-1)-14 = -3-14 = -17
∵ -17≠4 Therefore, m =-1 is not the solution.
Putting m = 0 in L.H.S. 3(0)-14 = 0-14 = -14
∵ -14≠4 Therefore, m = 0 is not the solution.
Putting m = 1 in L.H.S. 3(1)-14 = 3-14 =-11
∵ -11≠4 Therefore, m = 1 is not the solution.
Putting m = 2 in L.H.S. 3(2)- 14 = 6-14 = -8
∵ -8≠4 Therefore, m = 2 is not the solution.
Putting m = 3 in L.H.S. 3(3)- 14 = 9-14 = -5
∵ -5 ≠4 Therefore, m = 3 is not the solution.
Putting m = 4 in L.H.S. 3(4)-14 = 12-14 =-2
∵ -2≠4 Therefore, m = 4 is not the solution.
Putting m = 5 in L.H.S. 3(5)-14 = 15-14 = 1
∵ 1≠4 Therefore, m = 5 is not the solution.
Putting m = 6 in L.H.S. 3(6)-14 = 18-14 = 4
∵ 4 = 4 Therefore, m = 6 is the solution.

(ii) Laxmi’s father is 49 years old. He is 4 years older than three times Laxmi’s age. (Take Laxmi’s age to be y years.)
(iii) The teacher tells the class that the highest marks obtained by a student in her class are twice the lowest marks plus 7. The highest score is 87. (Take the lowest score to be l)
(iv) In an isosceles triangle, the vertex angle is twice either base angle. (Let the base angle be b in degrees. Remember that the sum of angles of a triangle is 180o)
Ans: (i) Let m be the number of Permit's marbles.
∴ 5m + 7 = 37
(ii) Let the age of Laxmi be y years.
∴ 3y + 4 = 49
(ii) Let the lowest score be l.
∴ 2l + 7 = 87
(iv) Let the base angle of the isosceles triangle be b, so vertex angle = 2b.
∴ 2b+b+b= 180°
⇒ 46 = 180° [Angle sum property of a Δ]
