Area Theorems


   
 
Question (1): Which of the following equations have x=2, y=3 as solution ?
(a) 8x-y = 12 (b) 2x+3y = 10
Answer:  (a) Substitute x=2, y=3 in 8x-y=12
8(2)-3=12
16-3=12

x=2, y=3 is not a solution of 8x-y=12
(b) Substitute x=2, y=3 in 2x+3y=10
2(2)+3(3)=10
4+9=10

x=2, y=3 is not a solution of 2x+3y=10.
Question (2): Find the values of a so that x=1, y=2 is a solution of:
(a) 2x+ay=10 (b) ax+2y=6 (c) x+2y=a
Answer:  (a) 2x+ay=10, substitute x=1, y=2
2(1)+a(12) = 10
2+2a=10
2a=8
a=4
(b) ax+2y=6, substitute x=1, y=2
a(1)+2(2)=6
a+4=6
a=6-4
a=2
x+2y=a , substitute x=1, y=2
1+2(2)=a
1+4=a
a=5

Answer:  2x-(1-2x) = 5-3(1+x)
2x-1+2x = 5-3-3x
4x+3x = 5-3+1
7x=3

Question (9): Solve the following equation:

Answer: 
4x + 7 = -3 (2x + 1) (By cross-multiplication)
4x+7=-6x-3
4x+6x=-3-7
10x=-10

x=-1
Question (10): Solve the following equation:

Answer: 






x=2

Question (11): Solve the following equation:

Answer: 


2y-15=180
2y=180+15
2y=195

Question (12): Solve graphically x - 2y = 1 and x + y = 4. Use 2cm = 1 unit on both axes and plot only 3 points per line.
Answer:  x - 2y = 1
2y = x - 1


x + y = 4
y = 4 - x


Question (13): Use a graph paper for this question. Draw the graphs of 2x-y-1 = 0 and 2x + y = 9 on the same axes. Use 2cm = 1unit on both the axes and plot only three points per line.
Write down the co-ordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines.
Answer:  2x - y - 1 = 0
y = 2x - 1

2x + y = 9
y = 9 - 2x


Question (14): Solve graphically x + y + 2 = 0 and 3x - 4y = 5.
Take 2 cm=1 unit.Write down the co-ordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines.
Answer:  a) x + y + 2 = 0
y = - x - 2

b) 3x - 4y = 5
4y =3x - 5



Question (15): Draw the graph of:
(i) x = 5 (ii) x + 5 = 0 (iii) y = 7 (iv) y + 7= 0
Answer:  i) x = 5
ii) x + 5 = 0
x = -5
iii) y = 7
iv) y + 7= 0
y = -7

Question (16): Use the table given below to draw the graph. From the graph, find the values of 'a' and 'b', state the linear equation between the variables x and y.


Answer:  a = 0
b = 3
Linear equation
2y = x + 1
Ans: i) a=0, b=3
ii) a = -1, b = 3
ii) 2y = x + 1

Question (17): Draw the graph of 2x - y = 4.
Answer:  2x - y = 4
y = 2x - 4


Question (18): Draw the graphs of the following equations
i) x + 3 = 0 ii) y - 3 = 0 iii) 2x + 3y = 12
Write down the co-ordinates of the triangle formed by these lines.
Answer:  i) x + 3 = 0
x = -3
ii) y - 3 = 0
y = 3
iii) 2x + 3y = 12
3y = 12 - 2x



Question (19): Solve graphically
x = 4 and 3x - 2y = 10.
Answer:  A) x = 4
B) 3x - 2y = 10
2y = 3x - 10



Ans : x = 4; y = 1
Question (20): Show graphically that the system of linear equations 2x+4y=10 and 3x + 6y = 12 has no solution.
Answer:  2x + 4y = 10
4y = 10 - 2x


3x + 6y = 12
6y = 12 - 3x
