Example 8 : The present age of father is four times the age of his son.
After 10 years, age of father will become three times the
age of his son. Find their present ages.
Solution: Let the present age of son be x years
∴the present age of father = 4x years
After 10 years
Age of son = (x + 10) years
Age of father = (4x + 10) years
According to the given condition
4x + 10 = 3(x + 10)
4x + 10 = 3x + 30
4x – 3x = 30 –10
x = 20
∴Present age of son = 20 years.
and present age of father = 4x = 4 × 20 = 80 years.

Example 11 : Application on problem solving strategy
A home-owner is installing a fence around the square
garden. The garden has a perimeter of 6480 cm. Write
and solve the equation to find the garden’s dimensions.
Solution : Understand and explore the problem
• What do you know?
Perimeter of square garden = 6480 cm
To find: Side of garden?
Plan a strategy
• To visualise that fencing around a garden means
fencing its perimeter.
• Recall that a square has four equal sides, say s each.
Solve
Fence around square garden = Perimeter of square garden
s + s + s + s = 6480 cm
4s = 6480 cm
s = 1620 cm
Thus, side of garden = 1620 cm
Check
Verify your answer by adopting some other plan.
e.g. Here in this problem instead of taking perimeter as
sum of its sides, use the formula
12/04/18
4s = 6480 cm
s = 1620 cm Hence verified.
In questions 1 to 15 out of the four options only one is correct, write
the correct answer.
1. The solution of which of the following equations is neither a fraction
nor an integer.
(a) 3x + 2 = 5x + 2 (b) 4x – 18 = 2
(c) 4x + 7 = x + 2 (d) 5x – 8 = x + 4
2. The solution of the equation ax + b = 0 is

(c) x = (d) x =

An equation like y + 9 = 16 is balanced just like
one with only numbers. To find the value of y, you
need to get the variable alone on one side of the
equals sign.
If the variable has something added to it, use
subtraction to get it on its own. In y + 9 = 16,
subtract 9 from both sides to get y on its own.
You can do exactly the same without drawing the scales.
y + 9 = 16
+9 and –9
y + 9 – 9 = 16 –9 cancel each other out.
y=7
You can check that y = 7 is the correct solution by substituting it back into
the original equation.
7 + 9 = 16 — this it true, so y = 7 is correct.

6. The value of x for which the expressions 3x – 4 and 2x + 1 become
equal is
(a) –3 (b) 0 (c) 5 (d) 1
7. If a and b are positive integers, then the solution of the equation
ax = b has to be always
(a) positive (b) negative (c) one (d) zero
8. Linear equation in one variable has
(a) only one variable with any power.
(b) only one term with a variable.
(c) only one variable with power 1.
(d) only constant term.
To solve equations like 5t = –20, you still need to get the variable t, on its
own. The variable has been multiplied by a number, 5 — so you can get the
variable on its own by dividing both sides by that numbers. In this case,
you need to divide by 5.

A one-step equation is one that can be solved in one step by either adding,
subtracting, multiplying or dividing by one thing.
There are four main methods. For example:
(i) a + 3 = 4.2 — solve by subtracting 3 from both sides to get a = 1.2
(ii) s – 7 = 12 — solve by adding 7 to both sides to get s = 19
(iii) 9m = 27 — solve by dividing both sides by 9 to get m = 3
(iv) d ÷ 8 = 2 — solve by multiplying both sides by 8 to get d = 16
Before you can solve an equation, you must be able to spot what kind of
equation you have.

Make a Plan
Think: First the variable is multiplied by 9.75, and then 3.25 is
added to the result. Work backward to solve the equation. Undo
the operations in reverse order. First subtract 3.25 from both sides
of the equation and then divide sides of the new equation by 9.75.
Solve
52.00 = 9.75t + 3.25
–3.25 –3.25 Subtract 3.25 from both sides.
48.75 = 9.75t
48.75 9.75t
= Divide both sides by 9.75.
9.75 9.75

Sometimes, a two-step equation contains a term or an expression with a
denominator. In these cases, it is often easier to first multiply both sides
of the equation by the denominator in order to remove it, and then work to
isolate the variable.
