Chapter : 4 Simple Equations

Exercise – 4.2

1. Give first the step you will use to separate the variable and then solve the equation:
(a) x – 1 = 0
(b) x + 1 = 0
(c) x – 1 = 5
(d) x + 6 = 2
(e) y – 4 = -7
(f) y -4 = 4
(g) y + 4 = 4
(h) y + 4 = -4

Solution –
(a) x – 1 = 0
We have to add 1 to both the side of given equation,
Then we get,
⇒ x – 1 + 1 = 0 + 1
⇒ x = 1

(b) x + 1 = 0
We have to subtract 1 to both the side of given equation,
Then we get,
⇒ x + 1 – 1 = 0 – 1
⇒ x = – 1

(c) x – 1 = 5
We have to add 1 to both the side of given equation,
⇒ x – 1 + 1 = 5 + 1
⇒ x = 6

(d) x + 6 = 2
We have to subtract 6 to both the side of given equation,
⇒ x + 6 – 6 = 2 – 6
⇒ x = – 4

(e) y – 4 = – 7
We have to add 4 to both the side of given equation,
⇒ y – 4 + 4 = – 7 + 4
⇒ y = – 3

(f) y – 4 = 4
We have to add 4 to both the side of given equation,
⇒ y – 4 + 4 = 4 + 4
⇒ y = 8

(g) y + 4 = 4
We have to subtract 4 to both the side of given equation,
⇒ y + 4 – 4 = 4 – 4
⇒ y = 0

(h) y + 4 = – 4
We have to subtract 4 to both the side of given equation,
⇒ y + 4 – 4 = – 4 – 4
⇒ y = – 8

2. Give first the step you will use to separate the variable and then solve the equation:

(b) 5m + 7 = 17

(c) = 40

(d)  = 6

Solution –
(a) 3n – 2 = 46
First we have to add 2 to the both sides of the equation,
⇒ 3n – 2 + 2 = 46 + 2
⇒ 3n = 48
