Expressions : 19 -­ 5x and 19x + 5

=> $19 – 5x = 19x + 5$

=> $19x + 5x = 19 – 5$

=> $24x = 14$

=> $x = \frac{14}{24} = \frac{7}{12}$

=> Ans – (A)

Expression 1 : 7 + 4x > 3 + 3x

=> $4x – 3x$ > $3 – 7$

=> $x$ > $-4$ ————–(i)

Expression 2 : 3x – 2 < 5 – x

=> $3x + x$ < $5 + 2$

=> $4x$ < $7$

=> $x$ < $\frac{7}{4}$ —————–(ii)

Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $-4$ < $x$ < $\frac{7}{4}$

Thus, $x$ can take values = -3 , -2 , -1 , 0 , 1

=> Ans – (C)

Expression : $3x^{2} = 10^{2} – 5^{2}$

=> $3x^2 = 100 – 25$

=> $3x^2 = 75$

=> $x^2 = \frac{75}{3} = 25$

=> $x = \sqrt{25} = 5$

=> Ans – (B)

Expression : $(7x – 13) – (12x + 3) = 14$

=> $7x – 13 – 12x – 3 = 14$

=> $-5x – 16 = 14$

=> $-5x = 16 + 14 = 30$

=> $x = \frac{30}{-5} = -6$

=> Ans – (A)

Expression 1 : 2 + 2x < 5 – x/2

=> $2x + \frac{x}{2}$ < $5 – 2$

=> $\frac{5x}{2}$ < $3$

=> $x$ < $\frac{6}{5}$ ———-(i)

Expression 2 : 5x + 3 > 5 – 5x

=> $5x + 5x$ > $5 – 3$

=> $10x$ > $2$

=> $x$ > $\frac{1}{5}$ ———-(ii)

Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $\frac{1}{5}$ < $x$ < $\frac{6}{5}$

Thus, the only value that $x$ can take = 1

=> Ans – (D)

Given : $\frac{x + y}{x – y} = \frac{5}{2}$

=> $2x + 2y = 5x – 5y$

=> $2y + 5y = 5x – 2x$ => $7y = 3x$

=> $y = \frac{3x}{7}$

To find : $\frac{4x + 5y}{x – 4y}$

= $[4x + 5(\frac{3x}{7})] \div [x – 4(\frac{3x}{7})]$

= $(4x + \frac{15x}{7}) \div (x – \frac{12x}{7})$

= $(\frac{43x}{7}) \div (\frac{-5x}{7})$

= $\frac{43x}{7} \times \frac{-7}{5x} = \frac{-43}{5}$

=> Ans – (C)

Expressions : 11x + 7 and 17x – 1

=> $11x + 7 = 17x – 1$

=> $17x – 11x = 7 + 1$

=> $6x = 8$

=> $x = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3}$

=> Ans – (C)

Equation 1 : 2x + 3y = 0

Multiplying by 3 on both sides, we get : $6x + 9y = 0$ ———–(iii)

Equation 2 : 3x -­ 4y = 34

Multiplying by 2 on both sides, => $6x – 8y = 68$ ———–(iv)

Subtracting equation(iv) from (iii),

=> $(6x – 6x) + (9y + 8y) = (0 – 68)$

=> $17y = -68$

=> $y = \frac{-68}{17} = -4$

Substituting it in equation (i), we get : $2x + 3(-4) = 0$

=> $2x = 12$

=> $x = \frac{12}{2} = 6$

$\therefore (x – y) = 6 – (-4) = 6 + 4 = 10$

=> Ans – (A)

Expression 1 : 5 ­- 3x < 4 ­- x

=> $3x-x$ > $5-4$

=> $2x$ > $1$

=> $x$ > $\frac{1}{2}$ ————(i)

Expression 2 : 5(2 -­ x) > 2 -­ 2x

=> $10-5x$ > $2-2x$

=> $5x-2x$ < $10-2$

=> $3x$ < $8$

=> $x$ < $\frac{8}{3}$ ————–(ii)

Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $\frac{1}{2}$ < $x$ < $\frac{8}{3}$

The only value that $x$ can take among the given options = 1

=> Ans – (C)

It is given that $a$ : $b$ = 3 : 8

Let $a = 3$ and $b = 8$

To find : $\frac{5a – 3b}{2a + b}$

= $\frac{(5 \times 3) – (3 \times 8)}{(2 \times 3) + (8)}$

= $\frac{(15 – 24)}{(6 + 8)} = \frac{-9}{14}$

=> Ans – (C)
