Question
Construct a right-angled triangle one side of which measures $3.5\ cm$ and the length of whose hypotenuse is $6\ cm.$
✓
Answer
Steps for construction: Step I: Draw $AB = 3.5\ cm$
Step II: Construct $\angle\text{ABX}=90^\circ$
Step III: With centre $A$, draw an arc of radius $6 \ cm$ cutting $BX$ at $C.$
Step IV: Join $AC$. Then, $ABC$ is the required triangle.

The value of the expression $(10 y-20)$ depends on the value of $y$. Verify this by giving five different values to $y$ and finding for each $y$ the value of $(10 y-20)$. From the different values of $(10 y-20)$ you obtain, do you see a solution to $10 y-20=50$ ?
If there is no solution, try giving more values to $y$ and find whether the condition $10 y-20=50$ is met.
