⇒ y = 6 – 6
⇒ y = 0
Therefore, (x, y) = (3, 0)
When, x = 4, then, y = 6 – 2×4
⇒ y = 6 – 8
⇒ y = – 2
Therefore, (x, y) = (4, – 2)
Hence, the solutions are (1, 4), (2, 2), (3, 0), (4, – 2)

The equation is 3x – y = 8
For (3, 1), x = 3 and y = 1
LHS = 3×3 – 1
= 9 – 1
= 8 = RHS
Since, RHS = LHS, therefore, (3, 1) is the solution of the equation 3x – y = 8.
For (2, – 2), x = 2 and y = – 2
LHS = 3×3 – 1
= 9 – 1
= 8 = RHS
Since, RHS = LHS, therefore, (2, – 2) is the solution of the equation 3x – y = 8.
Hence, (3, 1) and (2, – 2) are the solutions of the equation 3x – y = 8.
Now to find two more solutions,
3x – y = 8
⇒ y = 3x – 8
Let x = 1, then, y = 3x – 8
⇒ y = 3×1 – 8
⇒ y = 3 – 8
⇒ y = – 5
Therefore, (1, – 5) is a solution of 3x – y = 8.
Let x = 4, then, y = 3x – 8
⇒ y = 3×4 – 8
⇒ y = 12 – 8
⇒ y = 4
Therefore, (4, 4) is a solution of 3x – y = 8.
Plotting the points we obtain the following graph,
The blue line in the graph is of the equation 3x – y = 8.
From the graph, it is clear that it has infinitely many solutions.

(i) Given equation, 6x – 5y = 8
For the point, (3, 2),
x = 3 and y = 2
Putting these values in, 6x – 5y = 8
LHS = 6x – 5y
= 6×3 – 5×2
= 18 – 10
= 8 = RHS
Since, LHS = RHS, therefore, (3, 2) is a solution of 6x – 5y = 8.
(ii) Given equation, 6x – 5y = 8
For the point, (2, 3),
x = 2 and y = 3
Putting these values in, 6x – 5y = 8
LHS = 6x – 5y
= 6×2 – 5×3
= 12 – 15
= – 3 ≠ RHS
Since, LHS ≠ RHS, therefore, (2, 3) is not a solution of 6x – 5y = 8.

Study the graph given below. Choose the equation whose graph is given:
(i) y = x (ii) y = 2x
(iii) y = 2x + 1 (iv) x + y = 0
To find the correct answer, we will try all the options.
There are two points given,
A = (1, 3) and B = ( – 1, – 1)
We will put them in all the equations and check whether they satisfy or not.
(i) y = x
When x = 1 then, y = x
⇒ y = 1 ≠ 3
So it does not satisfy y = x
Therefore, the graph does not satisfy y = x
(ii) y = 2x
When x = 1 then, y = 2x
⇒ y = 2 × 1
⇒ y = 2 ≠ 3
So it does not satisfy y = 2x
Therefore, the graph does not satisfy y = 2x
(iii) y = 2x + 1
When x = 1 then, y = 2x + 1
⇒ y = 2 × 1 + 1
⇒ y = 2 + 1
⇒ y = 3
So it satisfies y = 2x
Now When x = – 1 then, y = 2x + 1
⇒ y = 2 × – 1 + 1
⇒ y = – 2 + 1
⇒ y = – 1
So it also satisfies y = 2x
Therefore, the graph satisfies y = 2x + 1
(iv) x + y = 0
When x = 1 then, y = – x
⇒ y = – 1 ≠ 3
So it does not satisfy x + y = 0
Therefore, the graph does not satisfy x + y = 0

⇒ – 2y = 6 – x
For point, P (2, – 2), x = 2 and y = – 2
= – 2 = LHS
Since, RHS = LHS, therefore, (2, – 2) satisfies x – 2y = 6
For point, Q (4, – 1), x = 4 and y = – 1
= – 1 = LHS
Since, RHS = LHS, therefore, (4, – 1) satisfies x – 2y = 6
For point, Q ( – 2, – 4), x = – 2 and y = – 4
= – 4 = LHS
Since, RHS = LHS, therefore, ( – 2, – 4) satisfies x – 2y = 6

(iv) When F = 0°, then
⇒ C = 17.7°
(v) Put C = F, then
⇒ F = – 40° = C
Therefore,– 40°F = – 40°C
A taxi charges Rs 20 for the first km and @ Rs 12 per km for subsequent distance covered. Taking the distance covered as x km and total fare Rs y, write a linear equation depicting the relation in x and y.
Draw the graph between x and y.
From your graph find the taxi charges for covering 16 km.
Ans. y = 12x + 8, Rs 200
Total distance covered = x km
Total fare = Rs y
Charges for 1 km = Rs 20
Charges for 2 kms = Rs 20 + Rs 12
Charges for 3 kms = Rs 20 + Rs 12 × 2
Continuing, we get,
Charges for (x – 1) kms = Rs 20 + Rs 12 × (x – 2)
Charges for x kms = Rs 20 + Rs 12 × (x – 1)
Total fare = Rs y
Therefore,
Total fare = Charges for x kms
⇒ y = 20 + 12 × (x – 1)
⇒ y = 20 + 12x – 12
⇒ y = 12x + 8
Let x = 1 then, y = 12x + 8
⇒ y = 12× 1 + 8
⇒ y = 12 + 8
⇒ y = 20
Let x = 5 then, y = 12x + 8
⇒ y = 12× 5 + 8
⇒ y = 60 + 8
⇒ y = 68
Let x = 10 then, y = 12x + 8
⇒ y = 12× 10 + 8
⇒ y = 120 + 8
⇒ y = 128
Plotting, (1, 20), (5, 68) and (10, 128) on the graph we get,
The blue line indicates the required graph of y = 12x + 8
When x = 16, we take 16 on x axis.

And,
Let the runs scored by the second batsman be y
The total runs scored are 164 which will be the sum of runs scored by both the batsmen, i.e.,
x + y = 164
Let x = 100 then, x + y = 164

⇒ y = 2 + 5
⇒ y = 7 ≠ 5
Therefore, the statement is false
(iii) Given equation,
x + y = 6
⇒ y = 6 – x
When x = 0, then,
y = 6 – x
⇒ y = 6 – 0
⇒ y = 6

Two men start from points A and B respectively, 42 km apart. One walks from A to B at 4 km/hr and another walks from B to A at a certain uniform speed. They meet each other after 6 hours. Find the speed of the second man.
Distance between the two men = 42 km
Speed of man at point A = 4 km/hr
Speed of man at point B = 4 km/hr (say)
Time = 6 hrs
⇒ Relative speed = 7 km/hrs
Speed of man at point B = Relative speed – Speed of man at point A
= 7 km/hrs – 4 km/hr
= 3 km/hrs
Therefore, speed of second man is 3 km/hrs
The taxi fare in a city is such that Rs 50 is the fixed amount and Rs 16 per km is charged. Taking the distance covered as x km and total fare as Rs y, write a linear equation in x and y. What is the total fare for 20 km?
Fixed amount = Rs 50
Charges for 1 km = Rs 16
Charges for 2 km = Rs 16 × 2 = Rs 32
Charges for x km = Rs 16 × x = Rs 16x
Total fare = y = Fixed amount + Charges for x km
= Rs 50 + Rs 16x
Therefore, the linear equation is, y = 50 + 16x
Now, to find the total fare for 20 kms, put x = 20 in y = 50 + 16x
⇒ y = 50 + 16 × 20
⇒ y = 50 + 320
⇒ y = 370
Therefore, the total fare for 20 km is Rs 370
Draw the graph for each of the equations x + y = 6 and x – y = 2 on the same graph paper and find the coordinates of the point where the two straight lines intersect.

When x = 4, then y = 6 – x
⇒ y = 6 – 4
⇒ y = 2
When x = 6, then y = 6 – x
⇒ y = 6 – 6
⇒ y = 0
Thus we have the following table,
Given equation, x – y = 2
⇒ y = x – 2
When x = 0, then y = x – 2
⇒ y = 0 – 2
⇒ y = – 2
When x = 2, then y = x – 2
⇒ y = 2 – 2
⇒ y = 0
When x = 4, then y = x – 2
⇒ y = 4 – 2
⇒ y = 2
When x = 6, then y = 6 – 2
⇒ y = 6 – 2
⇒ y = 4
Thus we have the following table,
From the graph, it is clear that x + y = 6 and x – y = 2 intersects at (4, 2)
