= (3 × 2) – 14

= 6 – 14

= – 8

By comparing LHS and RHS

-8 ≠ 4

LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the value of m = 2 is not a solution to the given equation.

Now,

Let, m = 3

LHS = 3m – 14

= (3 × 3) – 14

= 9 – 14

= – 5

By comparing LHS and RHS

5 ≠ 4

LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the value of m = 4 is not a solution to the given equation.

Let, m = 5

LHS = 3m – 14

= (3 × 5) – 14

= 15 – 14

= 1

By comparing LHS and RHS

LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the value of m = 5 is not a solution to the given equation.

Let, m = 6

LHS = 3m – 14

= (3 × 6) – 14

= 18 – 14

= 4

Solution:

The above statement can be written as,

6 times of y is 6y

Now,

= 6y – 6 = 60

When we add half of a number p to 2, we get 8.

6. Set up an equation in the following cases:

(i) Irfan says that he has 7 marbles more than five times the marbles Parmit has. Irfan has 37 marbles. (Take m to be the number of Parmit’s marbles.)

Solution:

Let the Parmit’s marble be m

Then, Irfan’s marble = 5m + 7

The total number of marble = 37

Hence, the required equation is:

5m + 7 = 37

(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.)

Solution:

Let the age of Laxmi is y

Age of Laxmi’s Father = 3y + 4

but the age of Laxmi’s father is given by 49

Hence the required equation:

3y + 4 = 49

(iii) The teacher tells the class that the highest marks obtained by a student in her class is twice the lowest marks plus 7. The highest score is 87. (Take the lowest score to be l.)

Solution:

Let the lowest score be l

then, the highest score = 2l + 1

but the given highest score = 87

Hence, the required equation:

2l + 1 = 87

(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 180 degrees).

Solution:

Let the base of each angle be ‘b’ degree

then, the vertex angle of the triangle = 2b

We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180o

Hence the required equation is:

b + b + 2b = 180o or 4b
