= 11 x + 4 y

Question 5.
Simplify: (5x3y3 – 3x2y2 + xy + 7) + (2xy + x3y3 – 5 + 2x2y2)
Answer:
(5x3y3 – 3x2y2 + xy + 7) + (2xy + x3y3 – 5 + 2x2y2)
= 5x3y3 + x3y3 – 3x2y2 + 2x2y2 + xy + 2xy + 7 – 5
= (5 + 1)x3y3 + (- 3 + 2)x2y2 + (1 + 2)xy + 2
= 6x3y3 – x2y2 + 3xy + 2

Question 6.
The sides of a triangle are 2x – 5y + 9, 3y + 6x – 7 and -4x + y + 10. Find the perimeter of the triangle.
Answer:
Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of three sides
= (2x – 5y + 9) + (3y + 6x – 7) + (-4x + y + 10)
= 2x – 5y + 9 + 3y + 6x – 7 – 4x + y + 10
= 2x + 6x – 4x – 5y + 3y + y + 9 – 7 + 10
= (2 + 6 – 4)x + (- 5 + 3 + 1)y + (9 – 7 + 10)
= 4x – y + 12
∴ Perimeter of the triangle = 4x – y + 12 units.

 

Question 7.
Subtract – 2mn from 6mn.
Answer:
6 mn – (-2mn) = 6mn + (+ 2mn)
= (6 + 2)mn

Question 8.
Subtract 6a2 – 5ab + 3b2 from 4a2 – 3ab + b2.
Answer:
(4a2 – 3ab + b2) – (6a2 – 5ab + 3b2)
= (4a2 – 6a2) + (- 3ab – (-5 ab)] + (b2 – 3b2)
= (4 – 6) a2 + (-3ab + (+ 5ab)] + (1 – 3) b2
= [4+(-6)] a+ (-3 + 5)ab + [1 + (-3)]b2
= – 2a2 + 2ab – 2b2

Question 9.
The length of a log is 3a + 4b – 2 and a piece (2a – b) is removed from it. What is the length of the remaining log?
Samacheer Kalvi 8th Maths Guide Answers Chapter 3 Algebra InText Questions 4
Answer:
Length of the log = 3a + 4b – 2
Length of the piece removed = 2a – b
Remaining length of the log = (3a + 4b – 2) – (2a – b)
= (3a – 2a) + [4b – (-b)] – 2
= (3 – 2)a + (4 + 1)b – 2
= a + 5b – 2

 

Question 10.
A tin had ‘x’ litre oil. Another tin had (3x2 + 6x – 5) litre of oil. The shopkeeper added (x + 7) litre more to the second tin. Later he sold (x2 + 6) litres of oil from the second tin How much oil was left in the second tin?
Answer:
Quantity of oil in the second tin = 3x2 + 6x – 5 litres.
Quantity of oil added = x + 7 litres
∴ Total quantity of oil in the second tin
= (3x2 + 6x – 5) + (x + 7)litres
= 3x2 + (6x + x) + (-5 + 7) = 3x4 + (6 + 1)x + 2
= 3x2 + 7x + 2litres
Quantity of oil sold = x2 + 6 litres
∴ Quantity of oil left in the second tin
= (3x2 + 7x + 2) – (x2 + 6) = (3x2 – x2) + 7x + (2 – 6)
= (3 – 1)x2 + 7x + (-4) = 2x2 + 7x – 4
Quantity of oil left = 2x2 + 7x – 4 litres

Question 1.
Every algebraic expression is a polynomial. Is this statement true? Why?
Answer:
No, This statement is not true. Because Polynomials contain only whole numbers as the powers of their variables. But an algebraic expression may contains fractions and negative powers on their variables.
Eg. 2y2 + 5y-1 – 3 is a an algebraic expression. But not a polynomial.

Convert the following statements into linear equations:

Question 1.
On subtracting 8 from the product of 5 and a number, I get 32.
Answer:
Convert to linear equations:
Given that on subtracting 8 from product of 5 and a, we get 32
∴ 5 × x – 8 = 32
∴ 5x – 8 = 32

Question 2.
The sum of three consecutive integers is 78.
Answer:
Sum of 3 consecutive integers is 78
Let integer be bx
∴ x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 78
∴ x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 78
∴ 3x + 3 = 78

 

Question 3.
Peter had a Two hundred rupee note. After buying 7 copies of a book he was left with 60.
Answer:
Let cost of one book be ‘x’
∴ Given that 200 – 7 × x = 60
∴ 200 – 7x = 60

Question 4.
The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal and the vertex angle measures 80°.
Answer:
Let base angles each be equal to x & vertex bottom angle is 80°. Applying triangle property, sum of all angles is 180°
∴ x + x + 80 = 180°
∴ 2x + 80 = 180°

Question 5.
In a triangle ABC, ∠A is 100 more than ∠B. Also ∠C is three times ∠A. Express the equation in terms of angle B.
Answer:
Let ∠B = b
Given ∠A = 10° + ∠B = 10 + b
Also given that ∠C = 3 × ∠A = 3 × (10 + b) = 30 + 3b
Sum of the angles = 180°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
10 + b + b + 30 + 3b = 180°
∴ 5b + 40 = 180°

Suppose we take the second piece to be x and the first piece to be (200 – x), how will the steps vary ? Will the answer be different?
Answer:
Let 2nd piece be ‘x’ & 1st piece is 200 – x
Given that 1st piece is 40 cm smaller than hence the other piece
∴ 200 – x = 2 × x – 40
Samacheer Kalvi 8th Maths Guide Answers Chapter 3 Algebra InText Questions 23
∴ 200 + 40 = 2x + x
240 = 3x
∴ x = 240/3 = 80
∴ 1st piece = 200 – x = 200 – 80 = 120 cm
2nd piece = x = 80 cm
The answer will not change
