## AP State Syllabus 9th Class Maths 6th Lesson Important Questions and Answers Linear Equation in Two Variables

Question 1.
Express the following statement as a linear equation in two variables. “Neeraja and Girija of class IX students together contributed Rs. 300/- towards the C.M. relief fund”.
Solution:
Contribution of Neeraja = ₹x
Contribution of Girija = ₹y
Sum of contribution of Neeraja and Girija is 300/-
∴ x + y = 300.

Question 2.
Re state the following statement with appropriate conditions to make it true statement.
“For every real number x, x2 ≥ x”.
Solution:
If x ≤ 0 or x ≥ 1 then x2 ≥ x.
For every integer x, x2 ≥ x.

Question 3.
Write the statement given below as a linear equation two in variables. “The sum of two numbers x and y is 75”.
Solution:
The sum of two numbers x and y is 75.
∴ x + y = 75

Question 4.
If x = 2 – α and y = 2 + α in a solution of 5x + 3y – 7 = 0 and x = 2β + 1 and y = β – 1 in a solution of 3x – 2y + 6 = 0 then find the value of α + β.
Solution:
Given equation = 5x + 3y – 7 = 0
x = 2 – α and y = 2 + α
∴ 5(2 – α) + 3(2 + α) – 7 = 0
⇒ 10 – 5α+ 6 + 3α – 7 = 0
⇒ 9 – 2α = 0
⇒ 2α = 9 ⇒ α = $$\frac{9}{2}$$ = 4.5
Given equation 3x – 2y + 6 = 0
x = 2β + 1 and y = β – 1
∴ 3(2β + 1)- 2(β – 1) + 6 = 0
⇒ 6β + 3 – 2β + 2 + 6 = 0
⇒ 4β + 11 = 0 ⇒ β = $$\frac{-11}{4}$$
∴ α + β = $$\frac{9}{2}$$ – $$\frac{11}{4}$$ = $$\frac{18-11}{4}$$ = $$\frac{7}{4}$$

Question 5.
Draw the graph of the equation 2x + 3y = 6. Find the coordinates of the points where the graph cuts the coordinate axes.
Solution:
Given equation 2x + 3y = 6

Coordinates of the points are (3, 0) (0, 2)

Question 6.
Draw the graph of the linear equations 2x + 3y = 12. At what points, the graph of the equation cuts the X-axis and Y-axis.
Solution:
2x + 3y = 12

The graph of the equation cuts the x – axis = (6, 0)
y – axis = (0, 4)
