Each part: 1 Mark
(a) Amit played 412=92 times of his brother.
He cut down his play by 113=43
The duration Amit plays now
= 92−43=196=316.
So, now Amit plays 316 times as his brother.
(b) Let the number be x.
−611+x=−58
x=−58−−611
x=−58+611
x=−788
(c) For −38 and x−24 to be equivalent.
⇒−38=x−24
⇒x=−3×−248
⇒x=−3×−31=9
