Question 12 Marks
Verify by substitution that:
x = 4 is the root of 3x - 5 = 7
Answer
x = 4 is the root of 3x - 5 = 7
Now, substituting x = 4 in place of ‘x’ in the given equation:
3x - 5 = 7
3(4) - 5 = 7
12 - 5 = 7
7 = 7
Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, x = 4 is the root of 3x - 5 = 7

Verify by substitution that:
x = 8 is the root of $\frac12\text{x} + 7 = 11$
Answer
x = 8 is the root of 12x + 7 = 11
Now, substituting x = 8 in place of ‘x’ in the given equation:
12x + 7 = 11,
12(8) + 7 =11
4 + 7 = 11
11 = 11
Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, x = 8 is the root of 12x + 7 = 11

Question 32 Marks
Verify by substitution that:
x = 3 is the root of 5 + 3x = 14
Answer
x = 3 is the root of 5 + 3x = 14
Now, substituting x = 3 in place of ‘x’ in the given equation:
5 + 3x = 14,
5 + 3(3) = 14
5 + 9 = 14
14 = 14
Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, x = 3 is the root of 5 + 3x = 14

Question 42 Marks
Verify by substitution that:
x = 4 is the root of $\frac{3\text{x}}{2}=6$
Answer
x = 4 is the root of $\frac{\text{3x}}{2}=6$
Now, substituting x = 4 in place of ‘x’ in the given equation:
$\frac{\text{3x}{}}{2}=6,$
$\frac{3\times4}{2}=6$
$\frac{12}{2}=6$
$6=6$
Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, x = 4 is the root of $\frac{3\text{x}}{2}=6$

Question 52 Marks
Verify by substitution that:
y = 2 is the root of y - 3 = 2y - 5
Answer
y = 2 is the root of y - 3 = 2y - 5.
Now, substituting y = 2 in place of ‘y’ in the given equation:
y - 3 = 2y - 5,
2 – 3 = 2(2) - 5
-1 = 4 - 5
-1 = -1
Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, y = 2 is the root of y - 3 = 2y - 5.

Question 62 Marks
Verify by substitution that:
x = 2 is the root of 3x - 2 = 8x - 12
Answer
x = 2 is the root of 3x - 2 = 8x - 12
Now, substituting x = 2 in place of ‘x’ in the given equation:
3x - 2 = 8x - 12,
3(2) - 2 = 8(2) - 12
6 - 2 = 16 - 12
4 = 4
Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, x = 2 is the root of 3x - 2 = 8x - 12
