Solution
(i)

(ii) x – y + z = (6a + 8b + 9c) – (2b – 3a – 6c) + (c – b + 3a)
= 6a + 8b + 9c – 2b + 3a + 6c + c – b + 3a
= 6a + 3a + 3a + 8b – 2b – b + 9c + 6c + c
= 12a + 5b + 16c

(iii) 2x – y – 3z
= 2(6a + 8b + 9c) – (2b – 3a – 6c) – 3(c – b + 3a)
= 12a + 16b + 18c – 2b + 3a + 6c – 3c + 3b – 9a
= 12a + 3a – 9a + 16b + 3b – 2b + 18c + 6c – 3c
= 6a + 17b + 21c

(iv) 3y – 2z – 5x
= 3(2b – 3a – 6c) – 2(c – b + 3a) – 5(6a + 8b + 9c)
= 6b – 9a – 18c – 2c + 2b – 6a – 30a – 40b – 45c

10. The sides of a triangle are x2 – 3xy + 8, 4x2 + 5xy – 3 and 6 – 3x2 + 4xy. Find its perimeter.
Solution
Required perimeter = Sum of three sides
= x2 – 3xy + 8 + 4x2 + 5xy – 3 + 6 – 3x2 + 4xy
= x2 + 4x2 – 3x2 – 3xy + 5xy + 4xy + 8 – 3 + 6
= 2x2 + 6xy + 11

11. The perimeter of a triangle is 8y2 – 9y + 4 and its two sides are 3y– 5y and 4y + 12. Find its third side.
Solution
Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of three sides
= 8y– 9y + 4
Sum of two sides = 3y – 5y + 4y + 12
= 7y – 5y + 12
∴ (8y – 9y + 4) – (7y – 5y + 12)
= 8y – 9y + 4 – 7y + 5y – 12
= y – 4y – 8
Hence third side = y – 4y – 8

12. The two adjacent sides of a rectangle are 2x – 5xy + 3z and 4xy – x – z. Find its perimeter.
Solution
Adjacent sides of a rectangle are

∴ Perimeter = 2(2x– 5xy + 3z+ 4xy – x – z)
= 4x– 10xy + 6z+ 8xy – 2x – 2z
= 2x– 2xy + 4z

13. What must be subtracted from 19x4 + 2x+ 30x – 37 to get 8x+ 22x3 – 7x – 60 ?
Solution
The required result will be
(19x4 + 2x3 + 30x – 37) – (8x+ 22x3 – 7x – 60)
= 19x4 + 2x3 + 30x – 37 – 8x4 – 22x+ 7x + 60
= 11x4 – 20x3 + 37x + 23

14. How much smaller is 15x – 18y + 19z than 22x – 20y – 13z + 26 ?
Solution
The required result is
(22x – 20y – 13z + 26) – (15x – 18y + 19z)
= 22x – 20y – 13z + 26 – 15x + 18y – 19z
= 7x – 2y – 32z + 26

15. How much bigger is 15x2y2 – 18xy– 10x2y than - 5x+ 6x2y – 7xy ?
Solution
The required result,
(5x2y– 18xy- 10x2y) – (-5x+ 6x2y – 7xy)
= 5x2y– 18xy– 10x2y + 5x2 + 6x2y + 7xy
= 5x2y2 – 18xy– 16x2y + 5x+ 7xy

= (6 – 2) × 7
= 4 × 7
= 28

(ii) For x = 2 and y = 1
xy2(x – 5y) +1
2 × 12(2 – 5 × 1) + 1
= 2 × (2 – 5) + 1
= 2 × (-3) + 1
= -6 + 1
= -5

(iii)
For x = 2, y = 1 and z = 1
xz(x2 + y2)
= 2 × 1(22 + 12)

(ii) xy2(x – 5y) + 1 for x = 2 and y = 1.
(iii) 2x(3x – 5) – 5(x – 2) – 18 for x = 2.
Solution
(i) For x =1
x(x – 5) + 2
= 1(1 – 5) + 2
= -4 + 2
= -2

(ii) For x = 2 and y = 1
xy2(x – 5y)

Solution
(-3x2y2) × (x – 2y)
= (-3x2y2) × (x) – (-3x2y2)(2y)
= - 3x3y2 + 6x2y3
= 6x2y3 – 3x3y2
For x = 1 and y = 2
(-3x2y2) × (x – 2y)
= (-3 × 12 × 22) × (1 - 2 × 2)
= (6 × 1 × 8) - (3 × 1 × 4)
= 48 - 12
= 36
∴ For x = 1 and y = 2, it is verified that,

= (2x– 4x + 5) × (x2 + 3x – 7)
= 2x2(x2 + 3x - 7) – 4x(x2 + 3x – 7) + 5(x2 + 3x – 7)
= 2x4 + 6x3 – 14x2 – 4x3 – 12x2 + 28x + 5x2 + 15x – 35
= 2x4 + 6x3 – 4x3 – 14x2 – 12x2 + 5x2 + 28x + 15x – 35
= 2x4 + 2x3 – 21x2 + 43x – 35

(ii) (ab - 1)(3 – 2ab)
= ab(3 – 2ab) – 1(3 – 2ab)
= 3ab - 2a2b2 – 3 + 2ab
= -2a2b2 + 5ab – 3
= 2a2b2 – 5ab + 3

15. Simplify : (5 – x)(6 – 5x)(2 - x).
Solution
(5 – x)(6 – 5x)(2 – x)
= [(5 – x)(6 – 5x)](2 – x)
= [5(6 – 5x) – x(6 – 5x)] (2 – x)
= [30 – 25x – 6x + 5x2](2 – x)
= (5x2 – 31x + 30)(2 – x)
= 2(5x2 – 31x + 30) - x(5x2 – 31x + 30)
= 10x2 - 62x + 60 – 5x3 + 31x2 – 30x
= -5x3 + 10x2 + 31x2 – 62x – 30x + 60
= -5x3 + 41x2 – 92x + 60

= (a2 – 6a + 14) × (a + 1) + 1
= a3 – 6a2 + 14a + a2 – 6a + 14 + 1
= a2 – 5a2 + 8a + 15 which is given

(ii)
∴ Quotient = 3x2 + 15x2 + 39x + 119 and remainder = 350

= 3x4 + 15x3 + 39x2 + 119x – 9x3 – 45x2 – 117x – 357 + 350
= 3x4 + 6x3 – 6x2 + 2x – 7 which is given

(iii)
∴ Quotient = 2x – 3 and remainder = 0
Verification:
Dividend = Quotient × Divisor  + Remainder
= (2x – 3)(3x + 5) + 0
= 6x2 + 10x – 9x – 15 + 0
= 6x2 – x – 15 which is given

3. The area of a rectangle is x3 – 8x2 + 7 and one of its sides is x – 1. Find the length of the adjacent side.
Solution
Area = x+ 7
One side = x – 1
∴ Adjacent side = (x3 – 8x2 + 7) + (x – 1)
∴ Other side = x2 – 7x – 7

4. The product of two numbers is 16x4 – 1. If one number is 2x – 1, find the other.
Solution
Product of two numbers = 16x4 – 1
One number = 2x – 1

= x(x2 + xy + y2) – y(x2 + xy + y2
= x3 + x2y + xy2 – x2y – xy2 – y3
= x3 – y3
Now, (x6 – y6) ÷ (x3 – y3)
= x3 + y3
