:
The value of x depends on the value of y. So the dependent variable is x and the independent variable is y.
Sum of the coefficients of dependent and independent variable =(10+1)=11

The given equation is,
4x−7=3x+5
On transposing,
4x−3x=7+5 x=12

If 5 is added to the left-hand side of the equation 3x+15=10, we get 3x+15+5=10.
The value on the left-hand side is increased but it remains same on the right-hand side. So, equality doesn't hold good now. 3x+15+5≠10.
Equality sign remains unchanged only when same quantity is added on both sides, i.e., 3x+15+5=10+5.
Thus, the equation does not remain same as the given equation.

Let us take the unknown number to be y.
One-fourth of y is y4 .
This number y4 is more than 7 by 3.
Hence we get the equation for y as y4−7=3
⇒y4−7=3
y4=3+7=10
∴y=40

Definition of Each: 1 Mark
A combination of variables and constants connected by the arithmetic operators such as addition(+), subtraction(-), multiplication(x) and division(÷) is called an expression.
e.g. (3x−7) is an expression.
An equation is a mathematical statement wherein two expressions are set equal to each other.
e.g. (3x−7)=65 is an equation.
(3x−7)=6y+8 is an equation.
(a) What is the value of x in the figure given below if it is known that perimeter of the triangle is 86?
(b) Frame an equation for the following case and find the value of the unknown:
In an isosceles triangle, the vertex angle is twice of either base angles. (Let the base angle be b in degrees. Remember that the sum of angles of a triangle is 180 degrees). [3 MARKS]

(a) Since it is a triangle, the perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of all the sides of the triangle.
So, x+(x+3)+41=86
⇒2x+44=86
⇒2x=42
⇒x=21.
(b) Let the base angle be b∘
Let the vertex angle be a∘
In an isosceles triangle base angles are equal.
∴a∘+b∘+b∘=180∘
2b∘+b∘+b∘=180∘⇒ Given that vertex angle is twice the base angle.
∴4b∘=180∘
b∘=(1804)∘
b∘=45∘
