Solve equations, number 1 to 20, given below, using factorization method:

1. x2 – 10x – 24 = 0

Solution:

Given equation, x2 – 10x – 24 = 0

x2 – 12x + 2x – 24 = 0

x(x – 12) + 2(x – 12) = 0

(x + 2)(x – 12) = 0

So, x + 2 = 0 or x – 12 = 0

Hence,

x = -2 or x = 12

2. x2 – 16 = 0

Solution:

Given equation, x2 – 16 = 0

x2 + 4x – 4x + 16 = 0

x(x + 4) -4(x + 4) = 0

(x – 4) (x + 4) = 0

So, (x – 4) = 0 or (x + 4) = 0

Hence,

x = 4 or x = -4

3. 2x2 – ½ x = 0

Solution:

Given equation, 2x2 – ½ x = 0

4x2 – x = 0

x(4x – 1) = 0

So, either x = 0 or 4x – 1 = 0

Hence,

x = 0 or x = ¼

4. x(x – 5) = 24

Solution:

Given equation, x(x – 5) = 24

x2 – 5x = 24

x2 – 5x – 24 = 0

x2 – 8x + 3x – 24 = 0

x(x – 8) + 3(x – 8) = 0

(x + 3)(x – 8) = 0

So, x + 3 = 0 or x – 8 = 0

Hence,

x = -3 or x = 8

5. 9/2 x = 5 + x2

Solution:

Given equation, 9/2 x = 5 + x2

On multiplying by 2 both sides, we have

9x = 2(5 + x2)

9x = 10 + 2x2

2x2 – 9x + 10 = 0

2x2 – 4x – 5x + 10 = 0

2x(x – 2) – 5(x – 2) = 0

(2x – 5)(x -2) = 0

So, 2x – 5 = 0 or x – 2 = 0

Hence,

x = 5/2 or x = 2

6. 6/x = 1 + x

Solution:

Given equation, 6/x = 1 + x

On multiplying by x both sides, we have

6 = x(1 + x)

6 = x + x2

x2 + x – 6 = 0

x2 + 3x – 2x – 6 = 0

x(x + 3) – 2(x + 3) = 0

(x – 2) (x + 3) = 0

So, x – 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

Hence,

x = 2 or x = -3

7. x = (3x + 1)/ 4x

Solution:

Given equation, x = (3x + 1)/ 4x

On multiplying by 4x both sides, we have

4x(x) = 3x + 1

4x2 = 3x + 1

4x2 – 3x – 1 = 0

4x2 – 4x + x – 1 = 0

4x(x – 1) + 1(x – 1) = 0

(4x + 1) (x – 1) = 0

So, 4x + 1 = 0 or x – 1 = 0

Hence,

x = -1/4 or x = 1

8. x + 1/x = 2.5

Solution:

Given equation, x + 1/x = 2.5

x + 1/x = 5/2

Taking LCM on L.H.S, we have

(x2 + 1)/ x = 5/2

2(x2 + 1) = 5x

2x2 + 2 = 5x

2x2 – 5x + 2 = 0

2x2 – 4x – x + 2 = 0

2x(x – 2) -1(x – 2) = 0

(2x – 1)(x – 2) = 0

So, 2x – 1 = 0 or x – 2 = 0

Hence,

x = ½ or x = 2

9. (2x – 3)2 = 49

Solution:

Given equation, (2x – 3)2 = 49

Expanding the L.H.S, we have

4x2 – 12x + 9 = 49

4x2 – 12x – 40 = 0

Dividing by 4 on both side

x2 – 3x – 10 = 0

x2 – 5x + 2x – 10 = 0

x(x – 5) + 2(x – 5) = 0

(x + 2) (x – 5) = 0

So, x + 2 = 0 or x – 5 = 0

Hence,

x = -2 or 5

 

10. 2(x2 – 6) = 3(x – 4)

Solution:

Given equation, 2(x2 – 6) = 3(x – 4)

2x2 – 12 = 3x – 12

2x2 = 3x

x(2x – 3) = 0

So, x = 0 or (2x – 3) = 0

Hence,

x = 0 or x = 3/2

11. (x + 1) (2x + 8) = (x + 7) (x + 3)

Solution:

Given equation, (x + 1) (2x + 8) = (x + 7) (x + 3)

2x2 + 2x + 8x + 8 = x2 + 7x + 3x + 21

2x2 + 10x + 8 = x2 + 10x + 21

x2 = 21 – 8

x2 – 13 = 0

(x – √13) (x + √13) = 0

So, x – √13 = 0 or x + √13 = 0

Hence,

x = – √13 or x = √13

12. x2 – (a + b)x + ab = 0

Solution:

Given equation, x2 – (a + b)x + ab = 0

x2 – ax – bx + ab = 0

x(x – a) – b(x – a) = 0

(x – b) (x – a) = 0

So, x – b = 0 or x – a = 0

Hence,

x = b or x = a

13. (x + 3)2 – 4(x + 3) – 5 = 0

Solution:

Given equation, (x + 3)2 – 4(x + 3) – 5 = 0

(x2 + 9 + 6x) – 4x – 12 – 5 = 0

x2 + 2x – 8 = 0

x2 + 4x – 2x – 8 = 0

x(x + 4) – 2(x – 4) = 0

(x – 2)(x + 4) = 0

So, x – 2 = 0 or x + 4 = 0

Hence,

x = 2 or x = -4

14. 4(2x – 3)2 – (2x – 3) – 14 = 0

Solution:

Given equation, 4(2x – 3)2 – (2x – 3) – 14 = 0

Let substitute 2x – 3 = y

Then the equation becomes,

4y2 – y – 14 = 0

4y2 – 8y + 7y – 14 = 0

4y(y – 2) + 7(y – 2) = 0

(4y + 7)(y – 2) = 0

So, 4y + 7 = 0 or y – 2 = 0

Hence,

y = -7/4 or y = 2

But we have taken y = 2x – 3

Thus,

2x – 3 = -7/4 or 2x – 3 = 2

2x = 5/ 4 or 2x = 5

x = 5/8 or x = 5/2

15. 3x – 2/ 2x- 3 = 3x – 8/ x + 4

Solution:

Given equation, 3x – 2/ 2x- 3 = 3x – 8/ x + 4

On cross-multiplying we have,

(3x – 2)(x + 4) = (3x – 8)(2x – 3)

3x2 – 2x + 12x – 8 = 6x2 – 16x – 9x + 24

3x2 + 10x – 8 = 6x2 – 25x + 24

3x2 – 35x + 32 = 0

3x2 – 3x – 32x + 32 = 0

3x(x – 1) – 32(x – 1) = 0

(3x – 32)(x – 1) = 0

So, 3x – 32 = 0 or x – 1 = 0

Hence,

x = 32/3 or x = 1

16. 2x2 – 9x + 10 = 0, when:

(i) x ∈ N (ii) x ∈ Q

Solution:

Given equation, 2x2 – 9x + 10 = 0

2x2 – 4x – 5x + 10 = 0

2x(x – 2) – 5(x – 2) = 0

(2x – 5)(x – 2) = 0

So, 2x – 5 = 0 or x – 2 = 0

Hence,

x = 5/2 or x = 2

(i) When x ∈ N

x = 2 is the solution.

(ii) When x ∈ Q

x = 2, 5/2 are the solutions

Solution:

Concise Selina Solutions Class 10 Maths Chapter 5 ex. 5(C) - 2

2(2x2 + 18) = 5(x2 – 9)

4x2 + 36 = 5x2 – 45

x2 – 81 = 0

(x – 9)(x + 9) = 0

So, x – 9 = 0 or x + 9 = 0

Hence,

x = 9 or x = -9
