Equation for perimeter: 1 Mark
Perimeter: 1 Mark
Perimeter of the triangle = sum of the sides of the triangle
6p24p+9=p22p+1+3p25p+3+3rdside
3rdside=6p24p+9[(p22p+1)+(3p25p+3)]
3rdside=6p24p+9(4p27p+4)
3rdside=2p2+3p+5
The 3rd side of the triangle has length is2p2+3p+5
Giventhat
p = 3
The perimeter of thetriangle is 6p24p+9 .
On substituting the values we get:
=6×324×3+9
=5412+9
=51
The perimeter of the triangle is 51 units.
Question 24. Tatesville has x inches of rainfall in April, (x+1.3) inches of rainfall in May, and (2x+0.5) inches in June. Write the expression that shows the total amount of rainfall for Tatesville for the three-month period? If the rainfall in May was 2.5 inches, find the total rainfall over the three months.  [4 MARKS]

Equating equation according to question: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that
Tatesville has x inches of rainfall in April, (x+1.3)inches of rainfall in May, and (2x+0.5)inches in June.
The total rainfall during these months will be the sum of these expressions.
Total amount of rainfall
=x+(x+1.3)+(2x+0.5)inches
=x+x+1.3+2x+0.5inches
=4x+1.8inches
Given that, rainfall in May is 2.5 inches.
Rainfall in May
(x+1.3)=2.5inches
x+1.3=2.5
x=2.51.3
x=1.2inches
On substituting the value ofx=1.2inches in the ecpression for total rainfall.
Total Rainfall
=4x+1.8=4(1.2)+1.8=4.8+1.8=6.6inches
So, the total rainfall over the three months is 6.6inches
Question 25. The product of monomial and a binomial expression is a ___________. Give an example.  [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Answer: 1 Mark
Example: 1 Mark
The product of a monomial and a binomial expression is a binomial.
E.g. a(a2b2)=a3ab2the expression has only two terms a3and ab2.
Question 26. Find the sum of the numerical coefficients of the algebraic expression:  
2x2+31y5xy  [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
As per the question:
We have to find out the sum of the numerical coefficients of the expression2x2+31y5xy
The numerical coefficient of2x2 = 2
The numerical coefficient of31y = 31
The numerical coefficient of5xy = 5
Sum of the coefficients = 2 + 31 - 5 = 28
Hence, the sum of the numerical coefficients of the expression2x2+31y5xy is 28.
Question 27. Two adjacent sides of a rectangle are 5x23y2 and x22xy. Find its perimeter.  [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Formula: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that:
Two adjacent sides of arectangleare 5x23y2and x22xy.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (Length +Breadth)
=2[(5x23y2)+(x22xy)]
=[10x26y2)+(2x24xy)]
=12x26y24xy
So, the perimeter of the rectangle is12x26y24xy.
Question 28. The sum of two consecutive numbers with a difference of 5 is 55. Find the numbers.  [4 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Forming the equation: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Result: 1 Mark
Let the numbers be x and x+5
Therefore, x+x+5=55
2x+5=55
2x=555
2x=50
x=502
x=25
Therefore, the requirednumbers are x=25,andx+5=30
Therefore, the two numbers with a difference of 5 whose sum is 55 are 25 and 30.
Question 29. (i) Will the value of 2x2+12x+3 for x = - 4 be greater than or less than 15?
(ii) If x2 is added to 2x2+12x+3 and 15 is subtracted from it then evaluate its value at x = -4?  [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Each part: 1.5 Marks
(i) Value of the expression for x=4
2x2+12x+3
2(4)2+12(4)+3
2(16)48+3
3248+3=15
Hence, the value of expression 2x2+12x+3 at x=4 is lesser than 15.
(ii) As per question
x2 is added to 2x2+12x+3 and 15 is subtracted from it
So, the final expression is:
2x2+12x+3+x215
3x2+12x12

On putting x = -4 in the above equation we get:
3×(4)2+12×(4)12
=484812
=12

Question 30. A number is 12 more than the other if their sum is 48. What are the numbers? Also, find the product of these numbers.  [4 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Forming the equation: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Answer: 1 Mark
Given that
A number is 12 more than the other number.
Let the number be x, thentheother number will be x+12.
As per question
x+(x+12)=48
2x+12=48
2x=4812
x=362=18

Then, the other number is x+12=18+12=30.
Therefore, the numbers are 18 and 30.
The product of these numbers =18×30=540.
