General Instructions

  • All questions are compulsory.
  • Section A carries 1 mark each, Section B 2 marks, Section C 3 marks and Section D 5 marks.
  • Show all working for Sections B, C and D. Only final answers are given at the end — for full solutions, raise your doubts with your teacher.
Section A — Multiple Choice Questions 5 × 1 = 5 marks
1.
To check a solution, ___ it back into the equation.
  • A.remove
  • B.substitute
  • C.double
  • D.ignore
2.
If both sides are equal, the solution is:
  • A.wrong
  • B.correct
  • C.zero
  • D.negative
3.
Does $x=4$ satisfy $2x+1=9$?
  • A.Yes
  • B.No
  • C.Cannot say
  • D.Sometimes
4.
Checking confirms whether a solution is:
  • A.large
  • B.right
  • C.prime
  • D.even
5.
A wrong solution makes the two sides:
  • A.equal
  • B.unequal
  • C.zero
  • D.negative
Section B — Short Answer (2 marks) 4 × 2 = 8 marks
6.
Does $x=5$ satisfy $x+3=8$?
7.
Does $x=2$ satisfy $3x=9$?
8.
Check $x=6$ in $x-1=5$.
9.
Check $x=4$ in $2x=8$.
Section C — Short Answer (3 marks) 4 × 3 = 12 marks
10.
Check whether $x=7$ satisfies $2x-3=11$.
11.
Check whether $x=3$ satisfies $4x+1=12$.
12.
Check whether $x=10$ satisfies $\tfrac{x}{2}=5$.
13.
Check whether $x=5$ satisfies $3x-2=12$.
Section D — Long Answer (5 marks) 2 × 5 = 10 marks
14.
Solve $2x+5=17$ and check your answer by substitution.
15.
A student claims $x=4$ solves $3x-5=8$. Check whether this is correct and, if not, find the correct value.
