Class 6 ICSE Selina Concise Math Ch-16 Simple Linear Equations Exercise 16 (A) Q 4 Fully Solved
4. Solve:
(i) x / 2 = 5
(ii) y / 3 = – 2
(iii) a / 5 = – 15
(iv) z / 4 = 3 (1 / 4)
(v) m / 6 = 2 (1 / 2)
Solution:
(i) x / 2 = 5
x = 5 × 2
We get,
x = 10
Hence, the value of x for x / 2 = 5 is 10
(ii) y / 3 = – 2
y = – 2 × 3
We get,
y = – 6
Hence, the value of y for y / 3 = – 2 is – 6
(iii) a / 5 = – 15
a = – 15 × 5
We get,
a = – 75
Hence, the value of a for a / 5 = – 15 is – 75
(iv) z / 4 = 3 (1 / 4)
This can be written as,
z / 4 = 13 / 4
z = 13 / 4 × 4
We get,
z = 13
Hence, the value of z for z / 4 = 3 (1 / 4) is 13
(v) m / 6 = 2 (1 / 2)
This can be written as,
m / 6 = 5 / 2
m = 5 / 2 × 6
m = 5 × 3
We get,
m = 15
Hence, the value of m for m / 6 = 2 (1 / 2) is 15
