In algebra, a term is either a single number or variable or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or – signs or sometimes by division.

Factors are defined as numbers we can multiply together to get another number.

(ix) 0.1 y + 0.01 y2

Solution:-

Expressions are defined as numbers, symbols and operators (such as +. – , × and ÷) grouped together that show the value of something.

In algebra, a term is either a single number or variable or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or – signs or sometimes by division.

A coefficient is a number used to multiply a variable (2x means 2 times x, so 2 is a coefficient). Variables on their own (without a number next to them) actually have a coefficient of 1 (x is really 1x).

4. (a) What should be added to x2 + xy + y2 to obtain 2x2 + 3xy?

Solution:-

Let us assume p be the required term.

Then,

p + (x2 + xy + y2) = 2x2 + 3xy

p = (2x2 + 3xy) – (x2 + xy + y2)

p = 2x2 + 3xy – x2 – xy – y2

p = 2x2 – x2 + 3xy – xy – y2

p = x2 + 2xy – y2

(b) What should be subtracted from 2a + 8b + 10 to get – 3a + 7b + 16?

Solution:-

Let us assume x be the required term.

Then,

2a + 8b + 10 – x = -3a + 7b + 16

x = (2a + 8b + 10) – (-3a + 7b + 16)

x = 2a + 8b + 10 + 3a – 7b – 16

x = 2a + 3a + 8b – 7b + 10 – 16

x = 5a + b – 6

5. What should be taken away from 3x2 – 4y2 + 5xy + 20 to obtain – x2 – y2 + 6xy + 20?

Solution:-

Let us assume a be the required term.

Then,

3x2 – 4y2 + 5xy + 20 – a = -x2 – y2 + 6xy + 20

a = 3x2 – 4y2 + 5xy + 20 – (-x2 – y2 + 6xy + 20)

a = 3x2 – 4y2 + 5xy + 20 + x2 + y2 – 6xy – 20

a = 3x2 + x2 – 4y2 + y2 + 5xy – 6xy + 20 – 20

a = 4x2 – 3y2 – xy

6. (a) From the sum of 3x – y + 11 and – y – 11, subtract 3x – y – 11.

Solution:-

First, we have to find out the sum of 3x – y + 11 and – y – 11.

= 3x – y + 11 + (-y – 11)

= 3x – y + 11 – y – 11

= 3x – y – y + 11 – 11

= 3x – 2y

Now, subtract 3x – y – 11 from 3x – 2y.

= 3x – 2y – (3x – y – 11)

= 3x – 2y – 3x + y + 11

= 3x – 3x – 2y + y + 11

= -y + 11

(b) From the sum of 4 + 3x and 5 – 4x + 2x2, subtract the sum of 3x2 – 5x and

–x2 + 2x + 5.

Solution:-

First, we have to find out the sum of 4 + 3x and 5 – 4x + 2x2

= 4 + 3x + (5 – 4x + 2x2)

= 4 + 3x + 5 – 4x + 2x2

= 4 + 5 + 3x – 4x + 2x2

= 9 – x + 2x2

= 2x2 – x + 9 … [equation 1]

Then, we have to find out the sum of 3x2 – 5x and – x2 + 2x + 5

= 3x2 – 5x + (-x2 + 2x + 5)

= 3x2 – 5x – x2 + 2x + 5

= 3x2 – x2 – 5x + 2x + 5

= 2x2 – 3x + 5 … [equation 2]

Now, we have to subtract equation (2) from equation (1)

= 2x2 – x + 9 – (2x2 – 3x + 5)

= 2x2 – x + 9 – 2x2 + 3x – 5

= 2x2 – 2x2 – x + 3x + 9 – 5

= 2x + 4
