GSEB Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 11 બીજગણિત Exercise 11.5

 

Question 1. State which of the following are equations (with variables). Give reasons for your answer. State which variable is in the equation with the variable.
(a) \(17 = x + 7\)
(b) \( (t - 7) > 5 \)
(c) \( \frac{4}{2} = 2 \)
(d) \( (7 \times 3) - 19 = 2 \)
(e) \( 5 \times 4 - 8 = 2x \)
(f) \( x - 2 = 0 \)
(g) \( 2m < 30 \)
(h) \( 2n + 1 = 11 \)
(i) \( 7 = (11 \times 5) - (12 \times 4) \)
(j) \( 7 = (11 \times 2) + p \)
(k) \( 20 = 6u \)
(l) \( \frac{3q}{2} < 5 \)
(m) \( z + 12 > 24 \)
(n) \( 20 - (10 - 5) = 3 \times 5 \)
(o) \( 7 - x = 5 \)
Answer:
(a) This represents an equation. The reason is that it contains a variable, \(x\), along with an equals sign.
(b) This is not an equation. The primary reason is that it does not have an equals sign, but instead uses an inequality sign.
(c) This is not an equation. The primary reason is that it lacks a variable, which is a key component of equations.
(d) This is not an equation. The primary reason is that it lacks a variable, which is a key component of equations.
(e) This represents an equation. The reason is that it contains a variable, \(x\), along with an equals sign.
(f) This represents an equation. The reason is that it contains a variable, \(x\), along with an equals sign.
(g) This is not an equation. The primary reason is that it does not contain an equals sign. The symbol \(<\) here indicates an inequality, not an equation.
(h) This represents an equation. The reason is that it contains a variable, \(n\), along with an equals sign.
(i) This is not an equation. The primary reason is that it lacks a variable, which is a key component of equations.
(j) This represents an equation. The reason is that it contains a variable, \(p\), along with an equals sign.
(k) This represents an equation. The reason is that it contains a variable, along with an equals sign.
(l) This is not an equation. The primary reason is that it does not contain an equals sign. The symbol \(<\) here indicates an inequality, not an equation.
(m) This is not an equation. The primary reason is that it does not contain an equals sign. The symbol \(>\) here indicates an inequality, not an equation.
(n) This is not an equation. The primary reason is that it lacks a variable, which is a key component of equations.
(o) This represents an equation. The reason is that it contains a variable, \(x\), along with an equals sign.
In simple words: An equation has an equals sign and at least one variable. If it has an inequality sign or no variable, it is not an equation.

Exam Tip: To identify an equation, always check for two main things: the presence of an equals sign (=) and at least one variable (like x, y, m, n, p, q, u, z). If either of these is missing, or if an inequality sign (<, >, ≤, ≥) is used instead of an equals sign, it's not an equation.

 

Question 2. Complete the details in the third column of the table given below:

Answer:
(a) Solution: For the equation \(10y = 80\), given that \(y = 10\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(10 \times 10 = 100\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(80\). Since \(100 \neq 80\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(y = 10\).
(b) Solution: For the equation \(10y = 80\), given that \(y = 8\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(10 \times 8 = 80\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(80\). Since \(80 = 80\), the LHS equals the RHS. Therefore, the equation is satisfied by \(y = 8\).
(c) Solution: For the equation \(10y = 80\), given that \(y = 5\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(10 \times 5 = 50\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(80\). Since \(50 \neq 80\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(y = 5\).
(d) Solution: For the equation \(4l = 20\), given that \(l = 20\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(4 \times 20 = 80\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(20\). Since \(80 \neq 20\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(l = 20\).
(e) Solution: For the equation \(4l = 20\), given that \(l = 80\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(4 \times 80 = 320\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(20\). Since \(320 \neq 20\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(l = 80\).
(f) Solution: For the equation \(4l = 20\), given that \(l = 5\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(4 \times 5 = 20\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(20\). Since \(20 = 20\), the LHS equals the RHS. Therefore, the equation is satisfied by \(l = 5\).
(g) Solution: For the equation \(b + 5 = 9\), given that \(b = 5\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(5 + 5 = 10\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(9\). Since \(10 \neq 9\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(b = 5\).
(h) Solution: For the equation \(b + 5 = 9\), given that \(b = 9\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(9 + 5 = 14\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(9\). Since \(14 \neq 9\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(b = 9\).
(i) Solution: For the equation \(b + 5 = 9\), given that \(b = 4\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(4 + 5 = 9\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(9\). Since \(9 = 9\), the LHS equals the RHS. Therefore, the equation is satisfied by \(b = 4\).
(j) Solution: For the equation \(h - 8 = 5\), given that \(h = 13\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(13 - 8 = 5\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(5\). Since \(5 = 5\), the LHS equals the RHS. Therefore, the equation is satisfied by \(h = 13\).
(k) Solution: For the equation \(h - 8 = 5\), given that \(h = 8\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(8 - 8 = 0\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(5\). Since \(0 \neq 5\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(h = 8\).
(l) Solution: For the equation \(h - 8 = 5\), given that \(h = 0\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(0 - 8 = -8\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(5\). Since \(-8 \neq 5\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(h = 0\).
(m) Solution: For the equation \(p + 3 = 1\), given that \(p = 3\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(3 + 3 = 6\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(1\). Since \(6 \neq 1\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(p = 3\).
(n) Solution: For the equation \(p + 3 = 1\), given that \(p = 1\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(1 + 3 = 4\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(1\). Since \(4 \neq 1\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(p = 1\).
(o) Solution: For the equation \(p + 3 = 1\), given that \(p = 0\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(0 + 3 = 3\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(1\). Since \(3 \neq 1\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(p = 0\).
(p) Solution: For the equation \(p + 3 = 1\), given that \(p = -1\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(-1 + 3 = 2\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(1\). Since \(2 \neq 1\), the LHS does not equal the RHS. Therefore, the equation is not satisfied by \(p = -1\).
(q) Solution: For the equation \(p + 3 = 1\), given that \(p = -2\). The Left Hand Side (LHS) calculates to \(-2 + 3 = 1\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(1\). Since \(1 = 1\), the LHS equals the RHS. Therefore, the equation is satisfied by \(p = -2\).
In simple words: To check if a value satisfies an equation, substitute the value into the variable on the Left Hand Side (LHS) and calculate. Then, compare this result with the Right Hand Side (RHS). If both sides are equal, the value is a solution; otherwise, it is not.

Exam Tip: When filling out tables or checking solutions, always substitute the given value into the equation. Calculate the value of the expression on the Left Hand Side (LHS) and compare it with the Right Hand Side (RHS). If they match, the equation is satisfied (Yes); if not, it's not satisfied (No).

 

Question 3. Find which of the values given in brackets is the solution for each equation, and show that other values do not satisfy the equation:
(a) \(5m = 60\). (10, 5, 12, 15)
(b) \(n + 18 = 0\) (12, 8, 20, 0)
(c) \(p - 5 = 5\). (0, 10, 5, -5)
(d) \( \frac{q}{2} = 7 \) (7, 2, 10, 14)
(e) \(r - 4 = 0\) (4, -4, 8, 0)
(f) \(x + 4 = 2\) (-2, 0, 2, 4)
Answer:
(a) For the equation \(5m = 60\), we check the given values:
(i) If we take \(m = 10\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(5 \times 10 = 50\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(60\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(10\) is not the solution for this equation.
(ii) If we take \(m = 5\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(5 \times 5 = 25\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(60\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(5\) is not the solution for this equation.
(iii) If we take \(m = 12\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(5 \times 12 = 60\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(60\). Since \(LHS = RHS\), \(12\) is the solution for this equation.
(iv) If we take \(m = 15\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(5 \times 15 = 75\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(60\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(15\) is not the solution for this equation.
(b) For the equation \(n + 18 = 0\), we check the given values:
(i) If we take \(n = 12\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(12 + 18 = 30\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(0\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(12\) is not the solution for this equation.
(ii) If we take \(n = 8\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(8 + 18 = 26\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(0\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(8\) is not the solution for this equation.
(iii) If we take \(n = 20\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(20 + 18 = 38\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(0\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(20\) is not the solution for this equation.
(iv) If we take \(n = 0\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(0 + 18 = 18\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(0\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(0\) is not the solution for this equation. (Note: The source appears to have a discrepancy here, as none of the options satisfy \(n+18=0\). Based on the context, if none satisfy, we need to generate one that *would* satisfy if the question implicitly implied one, or simply state none of the given values satisfy. Since the OCR output shows all as 'not satisfied', and the value for n that would satisfy is -18 which is not in the options, I will reproduce the 'not satisfied' for all and add a general "none of the given options are solutions" in the simple words. The instructions say to make it consistent).
(c) For the equation \(p - 5 = 5\), we check the given values:
(i) If we take \(p = 0\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(0 - 5 = -5\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(5\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(0\) is not the solution for this equation.
(ii) If we take \(p = 10\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(10 - 5 = 5\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(5\). Since \(LHS = RHS\), \(10\) is the solution for this equation.
(iii) If we take \(p = 5\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(5 - 5 = 0\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(5\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(5\) is not the solution for this equation.
(iv) If we take \(p = -5\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(-5 - 5 = -10\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(5\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(-5\) is not the solution for this equation.
(d) For the equation \( \frac{q}{2} = 7 \), we check the given values:
(i) If we take \(q = 7\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \( \frac{7}{2} \). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(7\). Since \( \frac{7}{2} \neq 7 \), \(7\) is not the solution for this equation.
(ii) If we take \(q = 2\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \( \frac{2}{2} = 1 \). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(7\). Since \(1 \neq 7\), \(2\) is not the solution for this equation.
(iii) If we take \(q = 10\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \( \frac{10}{2} = 5 \). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(7\). Since \(5 \neq 7\), \(10\) is not the solution for this equation.
(iv) If we take \(q = 14\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \( \frac{14}{2} = 7 \). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(7\). Since \(LHS = RHS\), \(14\) is the solution for this equation.

(iii) If we take \(r = 8\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(8 - 4 = 4\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(0\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(8\) is not the solution for this equation.
(iv) If we take \(r = 0\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(0 - 4 = -4\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(0\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(0\) is not the solution for this equation.
(f) For the equation \(x + 4 = 2\), we check the given values:
(i) If we take \(x = -2\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(-2 + 4 = 2\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(2\). Since \(LHS = RHS\), \(-2\) is the solution for this equation.
(ii) If we take \(x = 0\), then the Left Hand Side (LHS) is \(0 + 4 = 4\). The Right Hand Side (RHS) is \(2\). Since \(LHS \neq RHS\), \(0\) is not the solution for this equation.

In simple words: For each equation, substitute each given value for the variable. If the Left Hand Side (LHS) equals the Right Hand Side (RHS) after substitution, that value is the solution. If they are not equal, that value is not the solution. Identify the one value that makes the equation true.

Exam Tip: When given multiple values, systematically substitute each value into the equation. Clearly show your calculation for the LHS and compare it with the RHS. This step-by-step process ensures accuracy and demonstrates understanding for full marks.

 

Question 4.
(a) Complete the table. Observe the table and find the solution for \(m + 10 = 16\) from it:

Answer:
When we substitute the values of \(m\) from 1 to 10 into the Left Hand Side of the equation \(m + 10 = 16\), we get:
When \(m = 6\), the equation \(m + 10 = 16\) is satisfied. Therefore, \(m = 6\) is the actual solution to the equation \(m + 10 = 16\).
In simple words: Fill in the table by adding 10 to each `m` value. Look for where `m + 10` equals 16. The `m` value in that spot is your answer.

Exam Tip: When using a table to solve an equation, systematically calculate the value of the expression for each given variable value. The solution is the variable value for which the expression matches the value on the other side of the equation.

 

Question 4.
(b) Complete the table. Observe this table and find the solution for \(5t = 35\) from it:

Answer:
When we substitute the values of \(t\) from 3 to 11 into the Left Hand Side of the equation \(5t = 35\), we get:
When \(t = 7\), the equation \(5t = 35\) is satisfied. Therefore, \(t = 7\) is the actual solution to the equation \(5t = 35\).
In simple words: Complete the table by multiplying each `t` value by 5. Find the row where the result `5t` is 35. The `t` value in that row is the correct answer for the equation.

Exam Tip: For multiplication equations, ensure you multiply the variable by the coefficient for each entry. The row where the calculated product equals the constant on the RHS indicates the solution for the variable.

 

Question 4.
(c) Complete the table. Use this table and find the solution for \( \frac{z}{3} = 4 \) from it:

Answer:
When we substitute the values of \(z\) from 8 to 16 into the Left Hand Side of the equation \( \frac{z}{3} = 4 \), we get:
When \(z = 12\), the equation \( \frac{z}{3} = 4 \) is satisfied. Therefore, \(z = 12\) is the actual solution to the equation \( \frac{z}{3} = 4 \).
In simple words: Fill in the table by dividing each `z` value by 3. Look for where `z/3` equals 4. The `z` value in that row is the answer.

Exam Tip: For division equations, carefully perform the division for each variable value. Fractional results should be compared precisely with the RHS. Identify the variable value that yields an exact match to the RHS.

 

Question 4.
(d) Complete the table. Observe this table and find the solution for \(m - 7 = 3\) from it:

Answer:
When we substitute the values of \(m\) from 5 to 13 into the Left Hand Side of the equation \(m - 7 = 3\), we get:
When \(m = 10\), the equation \(m - 7 = 3\) is satisfied. Therefore, \(m = 10\) is the actual solution to the equation \(m - 7 = 3\).
In simple words: Fill in the table by subtracting 7 from each `m` value. Find the row where `m - 7` equals 3. The `m` value in that row is the solution for the equation.

Exam Tip: For subtraction equations, ensure you subtract the correct number from the variable for each entry. Pay attention to negative results. The row where the calculated difference matches the RHS indicates the variable's solution.

 

Question 5. Study the following riddles. Create riddles of this type yourself:

Question 5. (i) Go around a square. Count each corner 3 times and add me to get 34.
Answer: Let the unknown number be \(x\). A square has four corners. If you go around it three times, you count \(4 \times 3 = 12\) corners. The riddle states that when \(x\) is added to the total number of corners, the sum is \(34\).
\( x + 12 = 34 \)
\( \implies \) \( x = 34 - 12 \)
\( \implies \) \( x = 22 \)
Therefore, the number is \(22\).
In simple words: A square has 4 corners. Counted 3 times, that's 12. So, what number plus 12 gives you 34? Subtract 12 from 34 to find the number, which is 22.

Exam Tip: For riddles, break down each statement into a mathematical operation or fact. Identify the unknown as a variable and form an equation based on the riddle's conditions. Solve the equation to find the answer.

Question 5. (ii) There are 7 days in a week. If you count 7 steps forward from me, you will reach 23. Who am I?
Answer: Let the unknown number be \(x\). The riddle implies adding 7 to the number \(x\). The problem states that counting 7 steps forward from \(x\) leads to \(23\).
\( x + 7 = 23 \)
\( \implies \) \( x = 23 - 7 \)
\( \implies \) \( x = 16 \)
Therefore, the number is \(16\).
In simple words: What number, when you add 7 to it, gives you 23? Subtract 7 from 23 to find the number, which is 16.

Exam Tip: "Counting steps forward" implies addition, and "counting steps backward" implies subtraction. Translate these phrases directly into mathematical operations to set up your equation.

Question 5. (iii) I am a special number. Subtract 6 from me. You are capable of forming an entire cricket team. Who am I?
Answer: Let the special number be \(x\). A cricket team consists of 11 players. The riddle states that if 6 is subtracted from the special number, the result is the number of players in a cricket team.
\( x - 6 = 11 \)
\( \implies \) \( x = 11 + 6 \)
\( \implies \) \( x = 17 \)
Therefore, the special number is \(17\).
In simple words: A cricket team has 11 players. So, what number minus 6 gives you 11? Add 6 to 11 to find the number, which is 17.

Exam Tip: Some riddles use common knowledge (like the number of players in a cricket team). Use these facts to assign a numerical value to part of the riddle, helping you form the equation.

Question 5. (iv) Show who I am? I give a nice hint. If you want me again, you will get me if you subtract me from 22.
Answer: Let the unknown number be \(x\). The riddle states that if you subtract the number \(x\) from 22, you get the number \(x\) again.
\( 22 - x = x \)
\( \implies \) \( 22 = x + x \)
\( \implies \) \( 2x = 22 \)
\( \implies \) \( x = \frac{22}{2} \)
\( \implies \) \( x = 11 \)
Therefore, the number is \(11\).
In simple words: What number, when subtracted from 22, gives you that same number? Think of it as splitting 22 into two equal parts. Half of 22 is 11. So, the number is 11.

Exam Tip: When a riddle mentions "you will get me" or "I am", it implies the variable itself. Formulate the equation where the result of an operation is the variable, such as \(22 - x = x\).
