Solve the following equations by trial and error method: (i) 5p + 2 = 17 (ii) 3m – 14 = 4
(i)5p+2=17.
L.H.S=5p+2
By putting, p=0,
we get
5(0)+2=2≠17
By putting, p=1,
we get
5(1)+2=7≠17
By putting,p=2,
we get
5(2)+2=12 L.H.S≠ R.H.S
By putting, p=3,
we get
5(3)+2=17
L.H.S = R.H.S
So, p = 3is a solution of the equation.
ii) 3m–14=4
3m–14= L.H.S
By putting,m=5,
we get
3(5)–14=1≠6
By putting, m=6,
we get
3(6)–14=4
L.H.S= R.H.S. Therefore, m = 6 is a solution of the equation.

Write equations for the following statements:
(i) The sum of numbers x and 4 is 9.
(ii) 2 subtracted from y is 8.
(iii) Ten times a is 70.
(iv) The number b divided by 5 gives 6.
(v) Three-fourth of t is 15.
(vi) Seven times m plus 7 gets you 77.
(vii) One-fourth of a number x minus 4 gives 4.
(viii) If you take away 6 from 6 times y, you get 60.
(ix) If you add 3 to one-third of z, you get 30
Give first the step you will use to separate the variable and then solve the equation:
(a) x – 1 = 0
(b) x + 1 = 0
(c) x – 1 = 5
(d) x + 6 = 2
(e) y – 4 = – 7
(f) y – 4 = 4
(g) y + 4 = 4
(h) y + 4 = – 4
