Answer :
Question: 4.
(a) Construct 3 equations starting with x = 2.
(b) Construct 3 equations starting with x = –2.
Answer :
(a) 3 equations starting with x = 2.
(i) x = 2
Multiplying both sides by 10, 10x = 20
Adding 2 both sides 10x + 2 = 20 + 2 = 10x + 2 = 22
(ii) x = 2
Multiplying both sides by 5 5x = 10
Subtracting 3 from both sides 5x – 3 = 10 –3 = 5x – 3 = 7
(iii) x = 2
Dividing both sides by 5 x⁄5 = 2⁄5
(b) 3 equations starting with x = –2.
(i) x = –2
Multiplying both sides by 3 3x = –6
(ii) x = –2
Multiplying both sides by 3 3x = –6
Adding 7 to both sides 3x + 7 = –6 + 7 = 3x + 7 = 1
(iii) x = –2
Multiplying both sides by 3 3x = –6
Adding 10 to both sides 3x + 10 = –6 + 10 = 3x + 10 = 4
