Question 3:

Check which of the following are the solutions of the equation 5x – 4y = 20.
(i) (4, 0)
(ii) (0, 5)
(iii) $\left(-2,\frac{5}{2}\right)$$\left(-2, \frac{5}{2}\right)$
(iv) (0, –5)
(v) $\left(2,\frac{-5}{2}\right)$$\left(2, \frac{-5}{2}\right)$

Answer 3:

The equation given is 5x – 4y = 20.
(i) (4, 0) 
Putting the value in the given equation we have 
$\mathrm{LHS}:5\left(4\right)-4\left(0\right)=20\mathrm{RHS}:20\mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS}$$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{LHS}:5\left(4\right)-4\left(0\right)=20 \\ \mathrm{RHS}:20 \\ \mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS} \end{gathered}$$
Thus, (4, 0) is a solution of the given equation.
(ii) (0, 5)
Putting the value in the given equation we have 
$\mathrm{LHS}:5\left(0\right)-4\left(5\right)=0-20=-20\mathrm{RHS}:20\mathrm{LHS}\ne \mathrm{RHS}$$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{LHS}:5\left(0\right)-4\left(5\right)=0-20=-20 \\ \mathrm{RHS}:20 \\ \mathrm{LHS}\ne \mathrm{RHS} \end{gathered}$$
Thus, (0, 5) is not a solution of the given equation.
(iii) $\left(-2,\frac{5}{2}\right)$$\left(-2, \frac{5}{2}\right)$
Putting the value in the given equation we have 
$\mathrm{LHS}:5\left(-2\right)-4\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)=-10-10=-20\mathrm{RHS}:20\mathrm{LHS}\ne \mathrm{RHS}$$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{LHS}:5\left(-2\right)-4\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)=-10-10=-20 \\ \mathrm{RHS}:20 \\ \mathrm{LHS}\ne \mathrm{RHS} \end{gathered}$$
Thus, $\left(-2,\frac{5}{2}\right)$$\left(-2, \frac{5}{2}\right)$ is not a solution of the given equation.
(iv) (0, –5)
Putting the value in the given equation we have 
$\mathrm{LHS}:5\left(0\right)-4\left(-5\right)=0+20=20\mathrm{RHS}:20\mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS}$$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{LHS}:5\left(0\right)-4\left(-5\right)=0+20=20 \\ \mathrm{RHS}:20 \\ \mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS} \end{gathered}$$
Thus, (0, –5) is a solution of the given equation.
(v) $\left(2,\frac{-5}{2}\right)$$\left(2, \frac{-5}{2}\right)$
Putting the value in the given equation we have 
$\mathrm{LHS}:5\left(2\right)-4\left(\frac{-5}{2}\right)=10+10=20\mathrm{RHS}:20\mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS}$$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{LHS}:5\left(2\right)-4\left(\frac{-5}{2}\right)=10+10=20 \\ \mathrm{RHS}:20 \\ \mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS} \end{gathered}$$
Thus, $\left(2,\frac{-5}{2}\right)$$\left(2, \frac{-5}{2}\right)$ is a solution of the given equation.

(i) 2x – 3y = 6
(ii) $\frac{2x}{5}+\frac{3y}{10}=3$$\frac{2x}{5}+\frac{3y}{10}=3$
(iii) 3y = 4x

Answer 4:

(i) 2x – 3y = 6
 

x	0	3	$-$$-$3	$\frac{9}{2}$$\frac{9}{2}$	2
y	$-$$-$2	0	$-$$-$4	1	$\frac{-2}{3}$$\frac{-2}{3}$

(ii) $\frac{2x}{5}+\frac{3y}{10}=3$$\frac{2x}{5}+\frac{3y}{10}=3$

x	0	$\frac{15}{2}$$\frac{15}{2}$	5	10	3
y	10	0	$\frac{10}{3}$$\frac{10}{3}$	$\frac{-10}{3}$$\frac{-10}{3}$	6

(iii) 3y = 4x
 

x	3	$-$$-$3	$-$$-$6	6	0
y	4	$-$$-$4	$-$$-$8	8	0

Question 5:

If x = 3 and y = 4 is a solution of the equation 5x – 3y = k, find the value of k.

Answer 5:

Given: 5x – 3y = k
Since x = 3 and y = 4 is a solution of the given equation so, it should satisfy the equation.
$5\left(3\right)-3\left(4\right)=k\Rightarrow 15-12=k\Rightarrow 3=k$$$\begin{gathered} 5\left(3\right)-3\left(4\right)=k \\ \Rightarrow 15-12=k \\ \Rightarrow 3=k \end{gathered}$$ 
 

Question 6:

If x = 3k + 2 and y = 2k – 1 is a solution of the equation 4x – 3y + 1 = 0, find the value of k.

Answer 6:

Given: 4x – 3y + 1 = 0                                 .....(1)
x = 3k + 2 and y = 2k – 1
Putting these values in the equation (1) we get
$4\left(3k+2\right)-3\left(2k-1\right)+1=0\Rightarrow 12k+8-6k+3+1=0\Rightarrow 6k+12=0\Rightarrow k+2=0\Rightarrow k=-2$$$\begin{gathered} 4\left(3k+2\right)-3\left(2k-1\right)+1=0 \\ \Rightarrow 12k+8-6k+3+1=0 \\ \Rightarrow 6k+12=0 \\ \Rightarrow k+2=0 \\ \Rightarrow k=-2 \end{gathered}$$

Question 7:

The cost of 5 pencils is equal to the cost of 2 ballpoints. Write a linear equation in two variables to represent this statement. (Take the cost of a pencil to be ₹ x and that of a ballpoint to be ₹ y).

Answer 7:

Let cost of a pencil to be ₹ x and that of a ballpoint to be ₹ y.
Cost of 5 pencils = 5x
Cost of 2 ballpoints = 2y
Cost of 5 pencils = cost of 2 ballpoints
$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 5x=2y \\ \Rightarrow 5x-2y=0 \end{gathered}$$
