Question 31:

Fill in the blank to make the statement true.
3x + 23x2 + 6y2 + 2x + y2 + ____________ = 5x + 7y2.

Answer:

LHS = 3x + 23x2 + 6y2 + 2x + y2 + ____________ 
        = (3x + 2x) + 23x2 + (y2 + 6y2 )+____________
        = 5x + 23x+ 7y2 +____________

RHS = 5x + 7y2

Now on equating LHS and RHS, we get to know that the term 23xneeds to be vanished.
i.e., we need to add  -23x2in the LHS.
So, the missing term is   -23x2

Question 32:

Fill in the blank to make the statement true.
If Rohit has 5xy toffees and Shantanu has 20yx toffees, then Shantanu has _____ more toffees.

Answer:

If Rohit has 5xy toffees and Shantanu has 20yx toffees, then Shantanu has (20yx -  5xy) more toffees.
Now, 20yx = 20xy
Therefore,  20yx -  5xy = 20xy - 5xy = 15xy 
Hence, Shantanu has 15xy more toffees.

Question 59:

(a) What should be added to x3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + y3 to get x3 + y3?
(b) What should be added to 3pq + 5p2q2 + p3 to get p3 + 2p2q2 + 4pq?

Answer:

(a) x3 + y− (x3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + y3)
=  
x3 + yx3 − 3x2y − 3xy2 −  y
= − 3x2y − 3xy2
So,  − 3x2y − 3xy2should be added tox3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + y3 to get x3 + y3 

(b) p3 + 2p2q2 + 4pq − (3pq + 5p2q2 + p3) 
=  p3 + 2p2q2 + 4pq − 3pq  5p2q2  p3 
=
  −3p2q2 − pq
So, −3p2q2 − pq should be added to 3pq + 5p2q2 + p3 to get  p3 + 2p2q2 + 4pq.

(b) What should be subtracted from –7mn + 2m2 + 3 n2 to get m2 + 2mn + n2 ?

Answer:

a) 2x3 – 3x2y + 2xy2 + 3y3  – (x3 – 2x2y + 3xy2 + 4y3)
= 2x3 – 3x2y + 2xy2 + 3y3  – x3 + 2x2y  – 3xy2  – 4y3
x3 – x2y – xy2  – y3


b) –7mn + 2m2 + 3n2 – (m2 + 2mn + n2)

Question 61:

​How much is 21a3 – 17a2 less than 89a3 – 64a2 + 6a + 16?

Answer:

89a3 – 64a2 + 6a + 16 – (21a3 – 17a2 )
= 89a3 – 64a2 + 6a + 16 – 21a3 + 17a2 
= 89a3  – 21a + 17a– 64a2 + 6a + 16
= 68a– 47a+ 6a + 16

Hence, 21a3 – 17a2 is 68a– 47a+ 6a + 16 less than 89a3 – 64a2 + 6a + 16.

y4 – 12y2 + y + 14 – 17y3 – 34y2 + 51y – 68
y4 – 17y– 12y2 – 34y2 + y + 51y – 68 + 14
y4 – 17y– 46y2 + 52y – 54

Hence, y4 – 12y2 + y + 14 is y4 – 17y– 46y2 + 52y – 54 greater than 17y3 + 34y2 – 51y + 68.

Question 63:

​How much does 93p2 – 55p + 4 exceed 13p3 – 5p2 + 17p – 90?

Answer:

= 93p2 – 55p + 41 – 3p3 + 5p2 –  17p + 90
= – 3p3  + 98p2 – 72p + 131

Hence, 93p2 – 55p + 4 exceed 13p3 – 5p2 + 17p – 90 by  – 3p3  + 98p2 – 72p + 131

(i) (A + B) – C
(ii) B + C – A
(iii) A + B + C

Answer:

(i) (A + B) – C
= (3x2 – 4x + 1 + 5x2 + 3x – 8) – (4x2 – 7x + 3)
= 3x2 – 4x + 1 + 5x2 + 3x – 8 – 4x2 + 7– 3
= 8x2 + 6x – 10

(ii) B + C – A
= 5x2 + 3x – 8 + 4x2 – 7x + 3 – (3x2 – 4x + 1)
= 5x2 + 3x – 8 + 4x2 – 7x + 3 – 3x2 + 4x – 1
= 6x2 – 6


(iii) A + B + C

Question 99:

At age of 2 years, a cat or a dog is considered 24 “human” years old. Each year, after age 2 is equivalent to 4 “human” years.
 

Fill in the expression  [24 +        (a – 2)] 

so that it represents the age of a cat or dog in human years. Also, you need to determine for what ‘a’ stands for. Copy the chart and use your expression to complete it.


​

Answer:

At age of 2 years, a cat or a dog is considered 24 “human” years old. Each year, after age 2 is equivalent to 4 “human” years.
 

The expression is   [24 +    4    (a – 2)]

Age
          [24 + 4 (a – 2)]
Age (Human Years)
                2            24 + 4(0)       24
                3             24 + 4       28
                4             24 + 8       32
                5             24 + 12       36
                6             24 + 16       40

Question 100:

​Express the following properties with variables x, y and z.
(i) Commutative property of addition
(ii) Commutative property of multiplication
(iii) Associative property of addition
(iv) Associative property of multiplication
(v) Distributive property of multiplication over addition

Answer:

(i) Commutative property of addition
x + y = y + x

(ii) Commutative property of multiplication
x × y = y × x

(iii) Associative property of addition
x + (y + z) = (x + y) + z

(iv) Associative property of multiplication
x × (y × z) = (x × y) × z

(v) Distributive property of multiplication over addition
x ÷ (y ÷ z) = (x ÷ y) ÷ z
