Class 7, Maths, Chapter 12, Exercise 12.1 Solutions

Q.1. Get the algebraic expressions in the following cases using variables, constants and arithmetic operations.

(i) Subtraction of z from y.

(ii) One-half of the sum of numbers x and y.

(iii) The number z multiplied by itself.

(iv) One-fourth of the product of numbers p and q.

(v) Numbers x and y both squared and added.

(vi) Number 5 added to three times the product of numbers m and n.

(vii) Product of numbers y and z subtracted from 10.

(viii) Sum of numbers a and b subtracted from their product.

Ans:

(i) Subtraction of z from y.

            = Y – z

(ii) One-half of the sum of numbers x and y.

            $=\frac{x+y}{2}$

(iii) The number z multiplied by itself.

            =z × z = z2

(iv) One-fourth of the product of numbers p and q.

  $\mathsf{=}\frac{\mathsf{1}}{\mathsf{4}}\mathsf{(p\times q)=}\frac{\mathsf{pq}}{\mathsf{4}}$

(v) Numbers x and y both squared and added.

  = x2 + y2

(vi) Number 5 added to three times the product of numbers m and n.

  = 3mn + 5

(vii) Product of numbers y and z subtracted from 10.

            = 10 – (y x z) = 10 – yz

(viii) Sum of numbers a and b subtracted from their product.

            = (a x b) – (a + b) = ab- (a + b)

Q.2. (i) Identify the terms and their factors in the following expressions Show the terms and factors by tree diagrams.

(a) x – 3

(b) 1 + x + x2

(c) y – y3

(d) 5xy2 + 7x2y

(e) – ab + 2b2 – 3a2

(ii) Identify terms and factors in the expressions given below:

(a) – 4x + 5

(b) – 4x + 5y

(c) 5y + 3y2

(d) xy + 2x2y2

(e) pq + q

(f) 1.2 ab – 2.4 b + 3.6 a

(g) $\frac{\mathsf{3}}{\mathsf{4}}\mathsf{x+}\frac{\mathsf{1}}{\mathsf{4}}$

(h) 0.1p2 + 0.2q2
