 Q13. 3x + 2( x + 2 ) = 20 - ( 2x - 5 )
Solution: 3x + 2( x + 2 ) = 20 - ( 2x - 5 ) WORKSHEET -1
3x + 2x + 4 = 20 - 2x + 5 )
5x + 4 = 25 - 2x
5x + 2x = 25 - 4
7x = 21
x=3
Thus, x = 3 is the solution of the equation
Verification :
L.H.S 3x + 2( x + 2 ) Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S
= 3 X 3 + 2( 3 + 2 ) Hence verified
=9+ 2X5
= 9 + 10
= 19
R.H .S
20 - ( 2x - 5 )
= 20 - ( 2 X 3 – 5 )
= 20 - ( 6 - 5 )
= 20 - 1
= 19
 Q16. 4 ( 2y - 3 ) + 5 ( 3y - 4 ) = 14
Solution: 4 ( 2y - 3 ) + 5 ( 3y - 4 ) = 14
8y - 12 + 15y - 20 = 14
23y - 32 = 14
23y = 14 + 32
23y = 46
y= 2
Thus, y = 2 is the solution of the equation
Verification :
L.H.S Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S
= 4 ( 2y - 3 ) + 5 ( 3y - 4 ) Hence verified
= 4(2X2–3)+5(3X2–4)
= 4(4 -3) +5(6 - 4)
= 4X1 + 5 X 2
= 4 + 10
= 14
R.H .S
= 14
 Q18. z - z + z = 5
Solution: z - z + z = 5

= 5

z = 5
z = 6 Thus, z = 6 is the solution of the equation
Verification : L.H.S
z - z + z

=6 - X6 + X6

=6 -2X2 + 1 X 3 Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S

= 6 - 4 + 3 Hence verified
= 5

R.H .S =5
Q19. + 1 =
Solution: + 1 =

y + + 1 = y -

3y + + 1 = y - 1

3y - y = - 1 - 1 -

=
y = Thus, y = is the solution of the equation
Verification :
R.H.S. =
L.H.S : + 1
= (6y + 1 )
= (7y -3 )
= (6 X + 1)

= ( ) + 1) = (7 X - 3 )

=( )
= ( )

=
= X ( )

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S

= Hence verified
 Q22. 2x - 3 = ( 5 x - 12 )
Solution: 2x - 3 = ( 5 x - 12 )
10 ( 2x - 3 ) = 3 ( 5x - 12 )
20x - 30 = 15x - 36
20x - 15x = 30 - 36
5x = ( - 6 )
x = Thus, x = is the solution of the equation
Verification : L.H.S 2x - 3
= (2X –3)
=
=
R.H .S ( 5 x - 12 ) Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S
= ( 5 X - 12 ) Hence verified
= ( - 6 - 12 )
= X - 18 =
 Q23. 3( y - 3) = 5 ( 2y + 1 )
Solution: 3( y - 3) = 5 ( 2y + 1 )
3y - 9 = 10y + 5
3y - 10y = 5 + 9
- 7y = 14
y = (-2)
Thus, y = - 2 is the solution of the equation
Verification :
L.H.S 3( y - 3)
= 3(- 2 –3) Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S
= 3( -5) Hence verified
= - 15
R.H .S
5 ( 2y + 1 )
= 5 ( 2 x(- 2) + 1 )
= 5 (-4+ 1)
= 5 X ( -3 )
= ( -15 )
 Q24. 0.6x + 0.8 = 0.28 x + 1.16
Solution: 0.6x + 0.8 = 0.28 x + 1.16
0.6x – 0.28x = 1.16 – 0.8
0.32x = 0.36
x = 1.125

Thus, x = 1.125 is the solution of the equation

Verification :
L.H.S 0.6x + 0.8
= 0.6 X 1.125 + 0.8 Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S
= 0.675 + 0.8 Hence verified
= 1.475

R.H .S
0.28 x + 1.16
= 0.28 X 1.125 + 1 .16
= 0.315 + 1.16
= 1.475
