15.
Find the root the following equations \(3x-\frac { 1 }{ 3 } =\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \)
1.
Length: 60 m; Breadth: 40 m
2.
85 (or 58)
3.
Let Sahil’s present age be x years.
| Sahil | Mother | Sum | |
| Present age | x | 3x | |
| Age 5 years later | x + 5 | 3x + 5 | 4x + 10 |
It is given that this sum is 66 years
Therefore, 4x + 10 = 66
This equation determines Sahil’s present age which is x years. To solve the equation,
we transpose 10 to RHS,
4x = 66 – 10
or 4x = 56
or \(x=\frac{56}{4}=14\)
Thus, Sahil’s present age is 14 years and his mother’s age is 42 years. (You may easily check that 5 years from now the sum of their ages will be 66 years.)
4.
Assume the length of the rectangle to be x cm.
The perimeter of the rectangle = 2 x (length + width)
\(
=2 \times\left(x+2 \frac{3}{4}\right) \)
\(=2\left(x+\frac{11}{4}\right)
\)
The perimeter is given to be 13 cm. Therefore,
\(2\left(x+\frac{11}{4}\right)=13\)
\(
x+\frac{11}{4} =\frac{13}{2}
\)
\(x =\frac{13}{2}-\frac{11}{4}
\)
\(=\frac{26}{4}-\frac{11}{4}=\frac{15}{4}=3 \frac{3}{4}\)
5.
32 and 42
6.
5x = 1,\(\frac{4}{3}\)= y, 4z-12 = \(\frac{5}{7}\) are linear equations in one variable and x2 + 1= 4, y + y2 = 3,z + 4 = Z2 + z3 are not linear equations in one va'riable, because in all of these equations highest power of variable is greater than 1.
7.
We have, 0.44t-1.05 = 2 x 0.71t- 2 x 0.01 + 1.11
0.44t-1.05 = 1.42 t- 0.02+ 1.11
0.44t-1.42t = 1.05-0.02+ 1.11
-0.98t = 2.14
\(t=\frac { 214\times 100 }{ -0.98\times 100 } \)
\(t=\frac { 214 }{ -98 } =\frac { -107 }{ 49 } \)
8.
Let x be the requires number
\(\therefore\) \(3x\left( \frac { -13 }{ 4 } \right) -x=\frac { 5 }{ 8 } \)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac { -39 }{ 4 } -x=\frac { 5 }{ 8 } \Rightarrow \frac { -39 }{ 4 } -\frac { 5 }{ 8 } =x\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac { -78-5 }{ 8 } =5x\Rightarrow x=-\frac { 83 }{ 8 } \)
9.
We have \(\frac { 15 }{ 3 } -5x=13\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac { 13 }{ 6 } -13=5x\Rightarrow \frac { 13-65 }{ 5 } =5x\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac { -52 }{ 5 } =5x\Rightarrow x=-\frac { 52 }{ 25 } \)
10.
\(y=\frac { 17 }{ 22 } \)
11.
Length = 60 m, breadth = 40 m.
12.
m = \(\frac { 4 }{ 5 } \)
13.
We have, 5x + 9 = 5 + 3x
\(\Rightarrow\) 5x -3x = 5-9 [rransposing Sx to LHS and 9 to RHS]
\(2x=-4\)
\(\Rightarrow\) x =\(\frac { -4 }{ 2 } \) [dividing both sides by 2]
\(\therefore\) x = -2 which is the required solution
14.
\(p=-5\frac { 5 }{ 7 } \)
15.
\(x=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \)
