Exercise 2.5
Solve the following linear equations.
Q1. `text{x}/2 - 1/5 = text{x}/3 + 1/4`
`text{Sol.}`
`text{x}/2 - 1/5 = text{x}/3 + 1/4`
`text{x}/2 - text{x}/3 = 1/4 + 1/5`
`text{3x - 2x}/6 = (5 + 4)/20`
`text{x}/6 = 9/20`
`text{x} = (6 times 9)/20`
`text{x} = (3 times 9)/10`
`text{x} = 27/10`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{x} = 27/10`.
Q2. `text{n}/2 - text{3n}/4 + text{5n}/6 = 21`
`text{Sol.}`
`text{n}/2 - text{3n}/4 + text{5n}/6 = 21`
`text{6n - 9n + 10n}/12 = 21`
`text{7n}/12 = 21`
`text{n} = (21 times 12)/7`
`text{n} = 36`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{n} = 36.`
Q3. `text{x + 7 -} text{8x}/3 = 17/6 - text{5x}/2`
`text{Sol.}`
`text{x} + 7 - text{8x}/3 = 17/6 - text{5x}/2`
`text{x} - text{8x}/3 + text{5x}/2 = 17/6 - 7`
`text{6x - 16x + 15x}/6 = (17 - 42)/6`
`text{5x}/6 = - 25/6`
`text{5x} = - 25`
`text{x} = - 5`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{x} = - 5`
Q4. `text{x - 5}/3 = text{x - 3}/5`
`text{Sol.}`
`text{x - 5}/3 = text{x - 3}/5`
`5text{x - 5} = 3text{x - 3}`
`text{5x - 25 = 3x - 9}`
`text{5x - 3x } = 25 - 9`
`text{2x} = 16`
`text{x} = 16/2`
`text{x} = 8`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{x} = 8.`
Q5. `text{3t - 2}/4 - text{2t + 3}/3 = 2/3 -text{t}`
`text{Sol.}`
`text{3t - 2}/4 - text{2t + 3}/3 = 2/3 - text{t}`
`text{3t - 2}/4 - text{2t + 3}/3 + text{t} = 2/3`
`text{9t - 6 - 8t - 12 + 12t}/12 = 2/3`
`text{13t - 18}/12 = 2/3`
`text{13t - 18} = (2 times12)/3`
`text{13t - 18} = 8`
`text{13t} = 8 + 18`
`text{t} = 26/13`
`text{t} = 2`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{t} = 2`.
Q6. `text{m } - text{m - 1}/2 = 1 - text{m - 2}/3`
`text{Sol.}`
`text{m } - text{m - 1}/2 = 1 - text{m - 2}/3`
`text{m } - text{m - 1}/2 + text{m - 2}/3 = 1`
`text{6m - 3m + 3 + 2m - 4}/6 = 1`
`text{5m - 1}/6 = 1`
`text{5m} = 6 + 1`
`text{5m} = 7`
`text{m} = 7/5`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{m } =7/5`.
Simplify and solve the following linear equations.
Q7. `text{3(t - 3) = 5(2t + 1)}`
`text{Sol.}`
`text{3(t - 3) = 5(2t + 1)}`
`text{3t} - 9 = text{10t} + 5`
`text{3t - 10t} = 5 + 9`
`text{- 7t} = 14`
`text{t} = - 14/7`
`text{t} = - 2`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{t} = - 2`.
Q8. `text{15(y - 4) - 2(y - 9) + 5(y + 6) = 0}`
`text{Sol.}`
`text{15(y - 4) - 2(y - 9) + 5(y + 6) = 0}`
`text{15y} - 60 - text{ 2y} + 18 + text{ 5y} + 30 = 0`
`text{15y - 2y + 5y - 60 + 18 + 30 = 0`
`text{18y} - 12 = 0`
`text{18y} = 12`
`text{y} = 12/18`
`text{y} = 2/3`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{y} = 2/3`.
Q9. `text{3(5z - 7) - 2(9z - 11) = 4(8z - 13) - 17}`
`text{Sol.}`
`text{3(5z - 7) - 2(9z - 11) = 4(8z - 13) - 17}`
`text{15z - 21 - 18z + 22 = 32z - 52 -17}`
`text{15z - 18z - 32z = 21 - 22 - 52 - 17`
`text{- 35z} = - 70`
`text{z} = 70/35`
`text{z} = 2`
`text{Answer:}`
`text{z} = 2`.
Q10. `0.25(4f - 3) = 0.05(10f - 9)`
`text{Sol.}`
`0.25(4f - 3) = 0.05(10f - 9)`
`1.00f - 0.75 = 0.5f - 0.45`
`1f - 0.5f = 0.75 - 0.45`
`0.5f = 0.30`
`f = 0.30/0.5`
`f = 0.6`
`text{Answer:}`
`f = 0.6.`
