Tips for this NCERT Exercise
1) Validation or check result means to verify the answer by putting the values in the linear equation
2) Calculate the LHS(Left Hand side) by substituting the variable and similary calculate the RHS(Right hand side) by substituting the variable
3) Both the LHS and RHS should be equal
Question 1
Solve and check result: 3x = 2x + 18
3x = 2x + 18
Transposing 2x to L.H.S, we obtain
3x − 2x = 18
x = 18
Let us evaluate both the LHS and RHS for validate the answer
L.H.S = 3x = 3 × 18 = 54
R.H.S = 2x + 18 = 2 × 18 + 18 = 36 + 18 = 54
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
It proves that result is correct
Question 2
Solve and check result: 5t − 3 = 3t − 5
5t − 3 = 3t − 5
Transposing  3t to L.H.S and −3 to R.H.S, we obtain
5t − 3t = −5 − (−3)
2t = −2
Dividing both sides by 2
t = −1
Let us evaluate both the LHS and RHS for validate the answer
L.H.S = 5t − 3 = 5 × (−1) − 3 = −8
R.H.S = 3t − 5 = 3 × (−1) − 5 = − 3 − 5 = −8
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
It proves that result is correct
Question 3
Solve and check result
5x + 9 = 5 + 3x
5x + 9 = 5 + 3x
Transposing 3x to L.H.S and 9 to R.H.S, we obtain
5x − 3= 5 − 9
2x = −4
Dividing both sides by 2, we obtain
= −2
Let us evaluate both the LHS and RHS for validate the answer
L.H.S = 5x + 9 = 5 × (−2) + 9 = −1
R.H.S = 5 + 3x = 5 + 3 × (−2)  = −1
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
It proves that result is correct
Question 4
Solve and check result:
4z + 3 = 6 + 2z
4z + 3 = 6 + 2z
Transposing 2z to L.H.S and 3 to R.H.S, we obtain
4z − 2z = 6 − 3
2z = 3
Dividing both sides by 2, we obtain
z=3/2
Let us evaluate both the LHS and RHS for validate the answer
L.H.S = 4z + 3 = 4 × (3/2) + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9
R.H.S = 6 + 2z = 6 + 2 × (3/2) = 6 + 3 = 9
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
It proves that result is correct
Question 5
Solve and check result:
2x − 1 = 14 − x
2x − 1 = 14 − x
Transposing x to L.H.S and 1 to R.H.S, we obtain
2x + x = 14 + 1
3x = 15
Dividing both sides by 3, we obtain
x = 5
Let us evaluate both the LHS and RHS for validate the answer
L.H.S = 2x − 1 = 2 × (5) − 1 = 10 − 1 = 9
R.H.S = 14 − x = 14 − 5 = 9
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
It proves that result is correct

Question 6
Solve and check result:
8x + 4 = 3(x − 1) + 7
8x + 4 = 3(− 1) + 7
8x + 4 = 3x − 3 + 7
Transposing 3x to L.H.S and 4 to R.H.S, we obtain
8− 3x = − 3 + 7 − 4
5x = − 7 + 7
5x=0
x=0
Let us evaluate both the LHS and RHS for validate the answer
L.H.S = 8x + 4 = 8 × (0) + 4 = 4
R.H.S = 3(x − 1) + 7 = 3 (0 − 1) + 7 = − 3 + 7 = 4
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
It proves that result is correct
Question 7-
Solve and check result:

Multiplying both sides by 5, we obtain
5x = 4(x + 10)
5x = 4x + 40
Transposing 4x to L.H.S, we obtain
5x − 4x = 40
x = 40
Let us evaluate both the LHS and RHS for validate the answer
L.H.S = x = 40
R.H.S = = 40
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
It proves that result is correct
Question 8
Solve and check result:

Transposing  7x/15 on LHS and 1 on RHS

Multiplying by 15 on both sides
10x-7x= 30
3x=30
Dividing by 3 on both the sides
x=10
Let us evaluate both the LHS and RHS for validate the answer
L.H.S = =23/3
R.H.S= =23/3
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
It proves that result is correct
Question 9
Solve and check result

Transposing y to L.H.S and 5/3 to R.H.S, we obtain

3y=21/3
3y=7
Dividing both sides by 3, we obtain
y=7/3
Let us evaluate both the LHS and RHS for validate the answer

L.H.S. = R.H.S.
It proves that result is correct
Question 10
Solve and check result:

Transposing 3m to R.H.S and 8/5 to L.H.S
8/5= 2m
Dividing both sides by 2
m=4/5
Let us evaluate both the LHS and RHS for validate the answer
L.H.S =  3m=12/5
R.H.S = 5m –(8/5)=12/5
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
It proves that result is correct
