(i) x+7+4(x–5) = x+7+4x-20=x+4x+7-20 = 5x-13 = 5×2-13 = 10-13 = -3 [putting x = 2]
(ii) 3(x+2)+5x–7 = 3x+6+5x-7 = 3x+5x+6-7 = 8x-1 = 8×2-1 = 16-1 = 15 [putting x = -1]
(iii) 6x+5(x–2) = 6x+5x-10 = 11x-10 = 11×2-10 = 22-10 = 12 [putting x = -1]
(iv) 4(2x–1)+3x+11 = 8x-4+3x+11 = 8x+3x-4+11 = 11x+7 = 11×2+7 = 22+7 = 29 [putting x = -1]
If \( x, y \) are two positive integers such that \( x + y = 20 \) and the maximum value of \( x^3 y \) is \( k \) at \( x = a, y = \beta \), then \( \frac{k}{\alpha^2 \beta^2} = ? \)
Write equations for the following statements:
(i) The sum of numbers x and 4 is 9.
(ii) 2 subtracted from y is 8.
(iii) Ten times a is 70.
(iv) The number b divided by 5 gives 6.
(v) Three-fourth of t is 15.
(vi) Seven times m plus 7 gets you 77.
(vii) One-fourth of a number x minus 4 gives 4.
(viii) If you take away 6 from 6 times y, you get 60.
(ix) If you add 3 to one-third of z, you get 30
