GRADE - 7-8 | WORKSHEET - Linear Equations in One Variable Reviewed
1. x = 5/13
2. x = -11/7
3. y = -33/2
4. x = -11/7
Answer : Option-3
Solution & Explanation : 0.25(4y - 3) = 0.5y - 9
1/4(4y - 3) = 1/2y - 9
(4y - 3) = 4(1/2y - 9)
4y - 3 = 2y - 36
4y - 2y = -36 + 3
2y = -33
y = -33/2
Question 14: Multiple Choice Question (MCQ)
Use the transposition method to solve given linear equation in one variable:
x/2 - 1/2 = x/3 + 1/4
1. x = 9/2
2. x = -1/7
3. y = 3/2
4. x = -6/7
Answer : Option-1
Solution & Explanation : x/2 - 1/2 = x/3 + 1/4
x/2 - x/3 = 1/4 + 1/2
(3x - 2x)/6 = (1 + 2)/4
x/6 = 3/4
x = 3/4(6)
x = 9/2
Question 15: Multiple Choice Question (MCQ)
Use the transposition method to solve given linear equation in one variable:
3(3x - 2)/3 + (2x + 3)/3 = x + 7/6
1. x = 3/2
2. x = -11/7
3. y = 13/12
4. x = 13/16
Answer : Option-4
Solution & Explanation : 3(3x - 2)/3 + (2x + 3)/3 = x + 7/6
3(3x - 2) + (2x + 3) = 3(x + 7/6)
9x - 6 + 2x + 3 = 3x + 7/2
11x - 3 = 3x + 7/2
11x - 3x = 7/2 + 3
8x = 13/2
x = 13/16
