Question 1.
Can we use the operations multiplication and division to combine terms?
Solution:
No, We can use addition and subtraction to combine terms.
If we use multiplication or division to combine then it become a single term.
Eg : xy, $$\frac{x}{y}$$ are monomials.

Question 1.
Try to find the value of the following expressions if p = 5 and q = 6.
(i) p + q
(ii) q – p
(iii) 2p + 2 > q
(iv) pq – p – q
(v) 5pq – 1
Solution:
(i) Given p = 5; q = 6
p + q = 5 + 6 = 11
(ii) q – p = 6 – 5 = 1
(iii) 2p + 2 > q = 2(5) + 3(6) = 10 + 18 = 28
(iv) pq – p – q = (5) (6) – 5 – 6 = 30 – 5 – 6 = 25 – 6 = 19

Question 1.
(i) 3p, 14p
(ii) m, 12m, 21m
(iii) 11abc, 5abc
(iv) 12y, -y
(v) 4x, 2x, -7x.
Solution:
(i) 3p + 14p = 17p
(ii) m + 12m + 21m = (1 + 12 + 21 )m
= 34 m
(iii) 11abc + 5abc = (11 + 5) abc
= 16 abc
(iv) 12y + (-y) = (12 + (-1))y
= (12 – 1 )y
= 11y
(v) 4x + 2x + (-7x) = (4 + 2+(-7))x
= (6 + (-7))x
= -1x

Question 1.
3x; + (y – x) = 3x + y – x, but 3x – (y – x) ≠ 3x – y – x. why ?
Solution:
In the first case
LHS = 3x + (y – x) = 3x + y – x = 3x – x + y = (3 – 1)x + y
= 2x + y
RHS = 3x + y – x = 2x + y
LHS = RHS ⇒ 3x + (y – x) = 3x + y – x
But in the second case
LHS = 3x – (y – x) = 3x – y + x
= (3 + 1)x – y = 4x – y
RHS = 3x – y – x = 3x – x – y
LHS ≠ RHS
∴ 3x – (y – x) ≠ 3x – y – x

Question 1.
What will you get if twice a number is subtracted from thrice the same number?
Solution:
Let the unknown number be x.
Twice the number = 2x.
Thrice the number = 3x.
Twice the number is subtracted from thrice the number = 3x – 2x = (3 – 2)x = x

Question 1.
Try to construct algebraic equations for the following verbal statements.

Question 1.
One third of a number plus 6 to 10.
Solution:
$$\frac{1}{3}$$ + 6 = 10

Question 2.
The sum of five times of x and 3 is 28
Solution:
5 (x + 3) = 28

Question 3.
Taking away 8 from y gives 11
Solution:
y – 8 = 11

Question 4.
Perimeter of a square with side a is 16 cm.
Solution:
4 × a = 16

Question 5.
Venkat’s mother’s age is 7 years more than 3 times venkat’s age. His mother’s age is 43 years.
Solution:
3x + 7 = 43, where x is venkat’s age.

Question 1.
Why should we subtract 5 and not some other number ? why don’t we add 5 on both sides? Discuss.
Solution:
Given x + 5 = 12
(i) Our aim is to find the value of x. Which means we have to eliminate the other values from LHS. Since 5 is given with x it should be subtracted.
(ii) If we add 5 on both sides we cannot eliminate the numbers from LHS and we get x + 10.

Question 1.
If the dogs, cats and parrots represents unknown find them. Substitute each of the values so obtained in the equations and verify the answers.
Solution:
(i) 1 dog + 1 dog + 1 dog = 24
3 dog = 24

(ii) 1 dog + 1 cat + 1 cat = 14
1 dog + 2cat = 14
8 + 2cat = 14
2cat = 14 – 8
2 cat = 6

(iii) 1 dog + 1 cat – 1 parrot = 9
8 + 3 – 1 parrot = 9
8 + 3 – 9 = 1 parrot
11 – 9 = 1 parrot
2 = 1 parrot
1 parrot = 2

(iv) 1 dog + 1 cat + 1 parrot = ?
8 + 3 + 2 = 13
Verification:
(i) 8 + 8 + 8 = 24
(ii) 8 + 3 + 3 = 14
(iii) 8+ 3 – 2 = 9
(iv) 8 + 3 + 2 = 13

Question 1.
Kandhan and kaviya are friends. Both of them are having some pen. Kandhan: If you give me one pen then, we will have equal number of pens. Will you? Kaviya: But, if you give me one of your pens, then mine will become twice as yours. Will you?
Construct algebraic equations for this situation, can you guess and find the actual number of pens, they have?
Solution:
Let the number of pens initially Kandhan and Kaviya had be x and y respectively.
