Chapter 04 Linear Equations in Two Variables Exercise-01

EXERCISE 4.1

1. The cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen. Write a linear equation in two variables to represent this statement.

(Take the cost of a notebook to be ₹ x and that of a pen to be ₹ y ).

Show Answer

Solution

Let the cost of a notebook and a pen be x and y respectively.

Cost of notebook =2× Cost of pen x=2yx2y=0

2. Express the following linear equations in the form ax+by+c=0 and indicate the values of a,b and c in each case:

(i) 2x+3y=9.35

(ii) xy510=0

(iii) 2x+3y=6

(iv) x=3y

(v) 2x=5y

(vi) 3x+2=0

(vii) y2=0

(viii) 5=2x

Show Answer

Solution

 (i) 2x+3y=9.352x+3y9.35

Comparing the equation with ax+by+c=0

a=2,b=3,c=9.35

(ii) xy510=0

Comparing the equation with ax+by+c=0

a=1, b=15,c=10

 (iii) 2x+3y=62x+3y6=0

Comparing the equation with ax+by+c=0

a=2, b=3,c=6

(iv) x=3y

x3y=0

Comparing the equation with ax+by+c=0

a=1, b=3,c=0

(v) 2x=5y

2x+5y=0

Comparing the equation with ax+by+c=0

a=2, b=5,c=0

 (vi) 3x+2=03x+0y+2=0

Comparing the equation with ax+by+c=0

a=3, b=0,c=2

(vii) y2=0

0x+y2=0

Comparing the equation with ax+by+c=0

a=0, b=1,c=2

(viii) 5=2X

2x+0y+5

Comparing the equation with ax+by+c=0

a=2, b=0,c=5
