Question 4.
Add : 2x, 6y, 9x – 2y
Solution:
2x + 6y + 9x – 2y = 2x + 9x + 6y – 2y = (2 + 9)x + (6 – 2)y = 11x + 4y
Question 5.
Simplify : (5x3 y3 – 3x2 y2 + xy + 7) + (2xy + x3y3 – 5 + 2x2y2)
Solution:
(5x3y3 – 3x2y2 + xy + 7) + (2xy + x3y3 – 5 + 2x2y2)
= 5x3y3 + x3y3 – 3x2y2 + 2x2y2 + xy + 2xy + 7 – 5
= (5 + 1)x3y3 + (-3 + 2)x2y2 +(1 +2)xy + 2
= 6x3y3 – x2y2 + 3xy + 2
Question 6.
The sides of a triangle are 2x – 5y + 9, 3y + 6x – 7 and -4x + y +10 . Find perimeter of the triangle.
Solution:
Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of three sides
= (2x – 5y + 9) + (3y + 6x – 7) + (-4x + y + 10)
= 2x – 5y + 9 + 3y + 6x – 7 – 4x + y + 10
= 2x + 6x – 4x – 5y + 3y + y + 9 – 7 + 10
= (2 + 6 – 4)x + (-5 + 3 + 1)y + (9 – 7 + 10)
= 4x – y + 12
∴ Perimeter of the triangle = 4x – y + 12 units.
Question 7.
Subtract -2mn from 6mn.
Solution:
6 mn – (-2mn) = 6mn + (+2mn) = (6 + 2) mn = 8mn
Question 8.
Subtract 6a2 – 5ab + 3b2 from 4a2 – 3ab + b2.
Solution:
(4a2 – 3ab+ b2) – (6a2– 5ab + 3b2)
= (4a2 – 6a2) + (- 3ab -(-5 ab)] + (b2– 3b2)
= (4 – 6) a2 + [-3ab + (+ 5ab)] + (1 – 3) b2
= [4 + (- 6)] a2 + (-3 + 5) ab + [1+ (-3)]b2
= -2a2 + 2ab – 2b2
Question 9.
The length of a log is 3a + 4b – 2 and a piece (2a – b) is remove from it. What is the length of the remaining log?
Solution:
Length of the log = 3a + 4b – 2
Length of the piece removed = 2a – b
Remaining length of the log = (3a + 4b – 2) – (2a – b)
= (3a – 2a) + [4b – (-b)] – 2
= (3 – 2)a + (4 + 1)b – 2
= a + 5b – 2
Question 10.
A tin had ‘x’ litre oil. Another tin had (3x2 + 6x – 5) litre of oil. The shopkeeper added (x + 7) litre more to the second tin. Later he sold (x2 + 6) litres of oil from the second tin. How much oil was left In the second tin?
Solution:
Quantity of oil in the second tin = 3x2 + 6x – 5 litres.
Quantity of oil added = x + 7 litres
∴ Total quantity of oil in the second tin
= (3x2 + 6x – 5) + (x + 7) litres
= 3x2 + (6x + x) + (-5 + 7)
= 3x2 + (6 + 1)x + 2
= 3x2 + 7x + 2 litres
Quantity of oil sold = x + 6 litres
∴ Quantity of oil left in the second tin = (3x2 + 7x + 2) – (x2 + 6)(3x2 – x2 ) + 7x + (2 – 6)
= (3 – 1)x2 + 7x + (-4) = 2x2 + 7x – 4
Quantity of oil left = 2x2 + 7x – 4 litres

Question 1.
Every algebraic expression is a polynomial. Is this statement true? Why?
Solution:
No, This statement is not true. Because Polynomials contain only whole numbers as the powers of their variables. But an algebraic expression may contains fractions and negative powers on their variables.
Eg. 2y2 + 5y-1 – 3 is a an algebraic expression. But not a polynomial.

Question 2.
-(5y2 + 2y – 6) Is this correct? If not, correct the mistake.
Solution:
Taking -(5y2 + 2y – 6) = 5y2 + [(-)(+) 2y] + [(-) × (-)6]
= -5y2 – 2y + 6
≠ -5y2 – 2y + 6
∴ Correct answer is -5y2 + 2y – 6 = -(5y2 + 2y + 6)

(10x – 7y + 5z) by 6xyz
(10x – 7y + 5z) × 6xyz = 6xyz (10x – 7y + 5z) [∵ Multiplication is commutative]
= 6xy (10x) + 6xyz (-7y) + 6xyz (5z)
= (6 × 10)(x × x × y × z) + (6 × -7) + (x × y × y × z) + (6 × 5)(x × y × z × z)
= 60x2yz + (-42xy2z) + 30xyz2
