ANSWERS:
1. Linear equations
2. x = 1, y =1
3. Inconsistent
4. Consistent

6. Parallel
7. Unique
8. No
9. Consistent
10. l = 20m, b = 16m
Half the perimeter of a rectangle = l + b = 36m (given)
Let the width be b then length will be 4 +b.
Then 4 + b + b = 36
4 + 2b = 36
2b = 36 – 4 = 32
b= 32/2 = 16 and l = 4 + b = 4 + 16 = 20
11. x = 39, y = 13
Let the numbers be x and y.
Then the equations are x – y = 26, x = 3y.
12. x = 40, y = 10
Let x and y be the ages in years of Jacob and his son.
The equations are x +5 = 3(y + 5)
x + 5 = 3y + 15
x – 3y – 10 = 0 ———– (i)
x – 5 = 7 (y-5)
x – 5 = 7y – 35
x – 7y + 30 = 0 —————–(ii)
13. k = 2
14. Infinitely many solutions
15. Intersecting or coincident
