Question 1.
Find three different solutions of the each of the following equations.
i) 3x + 4y = 7
Solution:
Given equation is 3x + 4y = 7

8x – y = 34
Solution:
Given that (0, a) and (b, 0) are the solutions of 8x – y = 34

i. e., 5(0) – 2a = – 3 and 5 (b) – 2(0) = – 3

Question 3.
Check which of the following is solution of the equation 2x – 5y = 10.
(i) (0, 2) (ii) (0,-2) (iii)(5, 0) (iv) (2√3, -√3) (v) ([latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex] , 2)
Solution:
i) (0, 2)
The given equation is 2x – 5y = 10
On substituting (0, 2), the L.H.S becomes
2(0)-5(2) = 0-10 = -10
R.H.S = 10
L.H.S ≠ R.H.S
∴ (0, 2) is not a solution.
ii) (0. – 2)
Substituting (0, – 2) in the L.H.S of 2x – 5y = 10, we get
2(0) – 5 (- 2) = 0 + 10 = 10 = R.H.S
∴ (0, – 2) is a solution.
![]()
iii) (5, 0)
Substituting (5, 0) in the L.H.S of 2x – 5y = 10, we get
2(5)-5(0) = 10-0 = 10 = R.H.S
∴ (5, 0) is a solution.
iv) 2√3, -√3
On substituting (2√3, -√3 ), the L.H.S becomes
2(2√3) – 5(-√3) = 4√3 + 5√3 = 9√3 ≠ R.H.S
∴ (2√3, -√3) is not a solution.
v) ([latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex], 2)
Given equation is 2x – 5y = 10
Put x = [latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex] and y = 2 in the given equation.
Then 2([latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex]) – 5(2) =10
1-10 = 10
-9 = 10 false
∴ ([latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex] , 2) is not a solution.
Question 4.
Find the value of k, if x = 2; y = 1 is a solution of the equation 2x + 3y = k. Find two more solutions of the resultant equation. £3 Each
Solution:
Given that x = 2 and y = 1 is a solution of 2x + 3y = k .
∴ 2(2) + 3(1) = k ⇒ 4 + 3 = k ⇒ k = .7 ’
∴ The equation becomes 2x + 3y = 7
| x | 0 | 1 |
| y | 2(0) + 3y = 7 3y = 7 y = [latex]\frac{7}{3}[/latex] |
2(1) + 3y = 7 3y = 7 – 2= y = [latex]\frac{5}{3}[/latex] |
| (x, y) | (0,[latex]\frac{7}{3}[/latex]) | (1, [latex]\frac{5}{3}[/latex]) |
Two more solutions are (0, [latex]\frac{7}{3}[/latex]) and (1, [latex]\frac{5}{3}[/latex])

Question 5.
If x = 2 – α and y = 2 + α is a solution of the equation 3x – 2y + 6 = 0, find the value of ‘α’. Find three more solutions of the resultant equation.
Solution:
Given that x = 2 – α and y = 2 + α is a solution of 3x – 2y + 6 = 0
Thus 3 (2 – α) – 2 (2 + α) + 6 = 0
⇒ 6 – 3α – 4 – 2α + 6 = 0
⇒ -5α + 8 = 0
⇒ -5α = -8
∴ α = [latex]\frac{8}{5}[/latex]
Three more solutions are
| x | 0 | 3x – 2y = -6 3x – 2(0) = -6 y = [latex]\frac{-6}{3}[/latex] = -2 |
1 |
| y | 3x – 2y = -6 3(0) – 2y = -6 y = 3 |
0 | 3x – 2y = -6 3(1) – 2y = -6 y = [latex]\frac{9}{2}[/latex] |

If x = 1;y = 1 is a solution of the equation 3x + ay = 6, find the value of ‘a’.
Solution:
Given that x = 1; y = 1 is a solution of 3x + ay = 6.
Thus 3(1) + a(1) = 6
⇒ 3 + a = 6 ⇒ a = 6 – 3 = 3
