Question 2.
Check whether the value given in the brackets is a solution to the given equation or not.
(a) n + 5 = 19 (n = 1)
(b) 7n + 5 = 19 (n = – 2)
(c) 7n + 5 = 19 (n = 2)
(d) 4p – 3 = 13 (p = 1)
(e) 4p – 3 = 13 (p = – 4)
(f) 4p – 3 = 13 (p = 0).
Solution:
(a) n + 5 = 19 (n = 1)
L.H.S. = n + 5 = 1 + 5 | when n = 1 = 5
R.H.S. = 19
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ n = 1 is not a solution to the given equation n + 5 = 19.
(b) 7n + 5 = 19 (n = – 2)
L.H.S. = 7n + 5 = 7(- 2) + 5 | when n = – 2 = – 14 + 5 = – 9
R.H.S. = 19
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ n = – 2 is not a solution to the given equation 7n + 5 = 19.
(c) 7n + 5 = 19 (n = 2)
L.H.S. = In + 5 = 7(2) + 5 | when n = 2 = 14 + 5 = 19 = R.H.S.
∴ n = 2 is a solution to the given equation 7n + 5 = 19.
(d) 4p – 3 = 13 (p = 1)
L.H.S. = 4p – 3 = 4(1) – 3 | when p = 1 = 4 – 3 = 1
R.H.S. = 13
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ p = 1 is not a solution to the given equation 4p – 3 = 13.
(e) 4p – 3 = 13 (p = – 4)
L.H.S. = 4p – 3 = 4(- 4) – 3 , | when p = – 4 = – 16 – 3 = – 19
R.H.S. = 13
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ p = – 4 is not a solution to the given equation
4p – 3 = 13.
(f) 4p – 3 = 13 (p = 0)
L.H.S. = 4 (p) – 3 = 4(0) – 3 | when p = 0 = 0 – 3 = – 3
R.H.S. = 13
∵ L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
∴ p = 0 is not a solution to the given equation 4p – 3 = 13.
Question 3.
Solve the following equations by trial and error method.
Solution:
(i) 5p + 2 = 17
So, p = 3 is the solution of the given equation 5p + 2 = 17.

Solution:
(i) Let the number of marbles with Parmit be m.
Then, 7 added to 5 times mis 5m + 7
It is given that 7 marbles more than five times the marble is 37. Thus, the equation obtained is 5m + 7 = 37.
(ii) Let Laxmi’s age be y years. Then, 4 added to 3 times y is 3y + 4
It is given that the father is 4 years older than 3 times Laxmi’s age. His age is 49years.
Then, we have the following equation : 3y + 4 = 49
(iii) Let the lowest marks be l. Then, twice the lowest marks plus 7 is 2l +7
It is given that, the highest marks 87 obtained by a student is twice the lowest marks plus 7.
So, we have the following equation : 2l + 7 = 87
(iv) Let the base angle be b. Then, the vertex angle = 2b.
Since, sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°
∴ b + b + 2b = 180°
⇒ 4b = 180°
which is the required equation.

Add 4 to both sides,
y – 4 + 4 = 4 + 4 ⇒ y = 8
It is the required solution.
Check. Put the solution y = 8 back into the equation.
L.H.S. = y – 4 = 8 – 4 = 4 = R.H.S.
The solution is thus checked for its correctness.
(g) The given equation is y + 4 = 4
Subtract 4 from both sides, y + 4 – 4 = 4 – 4 ⇒ y = 0
It is the required solution.
Check. Put the solution y = 0 back into the equation.
L.H.S. =y + 4 = 0 + 4 = 4 = R.H.S.
