3. Form the pair of linear equations for the following problems and find their solution by substitution    method.

(i) The difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other. Find them

Solution: 

Let be numbers = x, y

difference between two numbers is 26

 x-y=26--------(1)

 One number is three times the other

 x=3y-------(2)

 substitute x=3y in equation (1)

  x-y=26

 3y-y=26

 2y=26

 y=13

 substitute y=13 in equation (2)

 x=3y

 x=3x13=39

 x=39, y=13

 5. Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4 m more than its width, is 36 m. Find the dimensions of the garden. Rectangular Perimeter = 2(l+b) Half Perimeter = ½ x 2 (l+b) ½ x 2 (l+b) = 36  l+b = 36 --------(1) Length is 4 m more than its width l = b+4 --------(2) substitute l=b+4 in equation (1) l+b=36 b+4+b=36 2b=36-4 2b=32 b=16 b=8 substitute in equation (2) l=b+4 l=16+4=20 l=20, b=16

Q(1). 10 students of class X take part in a Mathematics quiz. If the number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys, find the number of  boys and girls who took part in the quiz.  Solution: We do not know how many girls and how many boys Let be girls = X Let be boys = Y In question 10 number of students in class given  That means number of girls + boys = 10     X + Y = 10 ---------------(1) Number of girls is 4 more than the number of boys     X=Y+4 Now form the equation type Bring the Y this side of equal it will be –Y    X – Y = 4 ----------------(2) Now take equation (1) X + Y = 10 Move X that side of equal it will be –Y    Y = 10 – X We do not know what x values to take, do not confuse You can take x value from 1 and substitute in y equation form    Y=10-X    Y=10-1=9     Y=10-2=8    Y=10-3=7  Now make table       Now take equation (2)      X-Y=4 ...

3. Form the pair of linear equations for the following problems and find their solution by substitution    method (v) A fraction becomes 9/11 , if 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator. If, 3 is added to both the numerator and the denominator it becomes 5/6 . Find the fraction. Solution:    Let be numerator = x   Let be denominator = y     Fraction=x/y  If 2 is added in numerator and denominator to the fraction it becomes = 9/11      (x+2)/(y+2)=9/11      11(x+2)=9(y+2)      11x+22=9y+18      11x-9y+22-18=0      11x-9y+4=0---------(1)  If 3 is added in numerator and denominator to the fraction it becomes = 5/6     (x+3)/(y+3)=5/6     6(x+3)=5(y+3)     6x+18=5y+15     6x-5y+18-15=0     6x-5y+3=0---------(2)   By solving equation (1)     11x-9y+4=0     11x+4=9y     Y=(11x+...
