This set of Class 8 Maths Chapter 2 Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Reduce the Given Linear Equations to a Simpler Form”.

1. Solve: \(\frac{3x+7}{12} + \frac{22x-1}{3}\) = 1.
a) \(\frac{9}{91}\)
b) \(\frac{27}{273}\)
c) \(\frac{-27}{273}\)
d) \(\frac{-9}{91}\)
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: \(\frac{3x+7}{12} + \frac{22x-1}{3}\) = 1
∴ \(\frac{3*(3x+7)+12*(22x-1)}{12*3}\) = 1
∴ 9x + 21 + 264x – 12 = 36
∴ 273x + 9 = 36
∴ 273x = 27
∴ x = \(\frac{27}{273} = \frac{9}{91}\).

2. Simplify: \(\frac{2x+1}{2} + \frac{2x-1}{3}\) = 1.
a) 10x = 5
b) 5x = 10
c) 10x + 5 = 0
d) 5x + 10 = 0
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: \(\frac{2x+1}{2} + \frac{2x-1}{3}\) = 1
∴ \(\frac{3*(2x+1)+2*(2x-1)}{6}\) = 1
∴ \(\frac{6x+3+4x-2}{6}\) = 1
∴ 6x + 3 + 4x – 2 = 6
∴ 10x + 1 = 6
∴ 10x = 5

3. Solve: 11x – 2 = 7x + 12.
a) –\(\frac{7}{2}\)
b) \(\frac{7}{2}\)
c) \(\frac{14}{2}\)
d) \(\frac{14}{6}\)
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: 11x – 2 = 7x + 12
∴ 11x – 7x = 12 + 2
∴ 4x = 14
∴ x = \(\frac{14}{4} = \frac{7}{2}\).

4. When the equation \(\frac{12x}{2} + \frac{6x}{5}\) = 0 is simplified the solution of the equation would be?
a) x=0
b) x=1
c) x-1=0
d) x+1=0
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: \(\frac{12x}{2} + \frac{6x}{5}\) = 0
∴ \(\frac{5*12x}{2*5} + \frac{2*6x}{5*2)}\) = 0
∴ 60x+12x=0
∴ 72x=0
∴ x=0.

5. Solve: 12x-13=2x*(11-12).
a) x+\(\frac{13}{14}\)=0
b) x-\(\frac{14}{13}\)=0
c) x=\(\frac{13}{14}\)
d) x+\(\frac{14}{13}\)=0
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: 12x-13=2x*(11-12)
∴ 12x-13=22x-24x
∴ 12x-13= -2x
∴ 14x=13
∴ x=\(\frac{13}{14}\).

6. Simplify: \(\frac{13x-1}{12}\)=12.
a) x=\(\frac{13}{145}\)
b) 13x+145=0
c) 13x=145
d) 145x+13=0
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: \(\frac{13x-1}{12}\)=12
∴ 13x-1=144
∴ 13x=145
∴ x=\(\frac{145}{13}\).

7. Simplify: t – 12 = 12t – 1.
a) t – 1 = 0
b) 1 – t = 0
c) t + 1 = 0
d) t = 0
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: t – 12 = 12t – 1.
∴ -11t = 11
∴ t = -1.
∴ t + 1 = (-1) + 1 = 0.

8. Solve: 13x – 2 = 21x + 2.
a) 2x + 1 = 0
b) 2x – 1 = 0
c) 2x = 1
d) 1 – 2x = 0
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: 13x-2=21x+2
∴ 13x-21x=2+2
∴ -8x=4
∴ x=\(\frac{-1}{2}\).
∴ 2x + 1 = 2\((\frac{-1}{2})\) + 1 = (-1) + 1 = 0.

9. What will be the solution for equation 3j+2=1-3j.
a) \(\frac{-1}{6}\)
b) \(\frac{1}{6}\)
c) \(\frac{1}{12}\)
d) \(\frac{-1}{12}\)
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: 3j+2=1-3j
∴ 3j+3j=1-2
∴ 6j=-1
∴ j=\(\frac{-1}{6}\).

10. Solve: 12x+2=13x-1.
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: 12x+2=13x-1
∴ 12x-13x=-1-2
∴ –x=-3
∴ x=3.
