Question

Rewrite the following statements by using symbols wherever needed

(a) a exceeds b by 10
(b) Twice the product of p and q divided by r.
(c) x is not equal to two times y.
(d) Four times m is greater than seven.
(e) The excess of 15 over 10 is 5.
(f) Since two times x equal sixteen, therefore x is equal to eight.
(g) Since four into y equal forty, therefore y equals ten.
(h) Twice the product of p and q upon the sum of a and b equals five.
(i) The difference of x and y is less the sum of two and ten.
(j) Nine times two is greater than ten.

Answer 1

(a) $a-b=10$
(b) $\frac{2pq}{r}$
(c) $x\ne 2y$
(d) $4m>7$
(e) $15-10=5$
(f) $Since2x=16\therefore x=8$
(g) $Since4y=40,\therefore y=10$
(h) $\frac{2pq}{a+b}=5$
(i) $x-y<2+10$
(j) 9×2>10
