Write the following statements in the form of equations:
(i) The sum of three times $x$ and 11 is 32 .
(ii) If you subtract 5 from 6 times a number, you get 7 .
(iii) One fourth of $m$ is 3 more than 7 .
(iv) One third of a number plus 5 is 8 .
Let's write each statement as an equation.
(i) The statement "The sum of three times $x$ and 11 is 32" translates to: $$ 3x + 11 = 32 $$
(ii) The statement "If you subtract 5 from 6 times a number, you get 7" translates to: $$ 6x - 5 = 7 $$ where $x$ is the number referred to.
(iii) The statement "One fourth of $m$ is 3 more than 7" translates to: $$ \frac{1}{4}m = 7 + 3 $$
(iv) The statement "One third of a number plus 5 is 8" translates to: $$ \frac{1}{3}x + 5 = 8 $$ where $x$ is the number referred to.
Convert the following equations in statement form:
(i) $x-5=9$
(ii) $5 p=20$
(iii) $3 n+7=1$
(iv) $\frac{m}{5}-2=6$

Give first the step you will use to separate the variable and then solve the equation:
(a) $x-1=0$
(b) $x+1=0$
(c) $x-1=5$
(d) $x+6=2$
(e) $y-4=-7$
(f) $y-4=4$
(g) $y+4=4$
(h) $y+4=-4$
To solve these equations for the variable (either $x$ or $y$), we will isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Here's the general strategy for each:
(a) $x-1=0$: Add $1$ to both sides to isolate $x$.
(b) $x+1=0$: Subtract $1$ from both sides to isolate $x$.
(c) $x-1=5$: Add $1$ to both sides to isolate $x$.
(d) $x+6=2$: Subtract $6$ from both sides to isolate $x$.
(e) $y-4=-7$: Add $4$ to both sides to isolate $y$.
(f) $y-4=4$: Add $4$ to both sides to isolate $y$.
(g) $y+4=4$: Subtract $4$ from both sides to isolate $y$.
(h) $y+4=-4$: Subtract $4$ from both sides to isolate $y$.
Now, let's solve these equations:
For (a) and (b), we solve by adding or subtracting $1$ directly.
For (c) and (d), we adjust by adding or subtracting to get $x$.
For (e), (f), (g), and (h), similar steps are followed, but we’re solving for $y$ instead.
Given the straightforward nature of these manipulations, I'll provide the solutions directly:
(a) $x = 1$
(b) $x = -1$
(c) $x = 6$
(d) $x = -4$
(e) $y = -3$
(f) $y = 8$
(g) $y = 0$
(h) $y = -8$
Give first the step you will use to separate the variable and then solve the equation:
(a) $3 l=42$
(b) $\frac{b}{2}=6$
(c) $\frac{p}{7}=4$
(d) $4 x=25$
(e) $8 y=36$
(f) $\frac{z}{3}=\frac{5}{4}$
(g) $\frac{a}{5}=\frac{7}{15}$
(h) $20 t=-10$

Set up equations and solve them to find the unknown numbers in the following cases:
(a) Add 4 to eight times a number; you get 60.
(b) One-fifth of a number minus 4 gives 3.
(c) If I take three-fourths of a number and add 3 to it, I get 21.
(d) When I subtracted 11 from twice a number, the result was 15.
(e) Munna subtracts thrice the number of notebooks he has from 50, he finds the result to be 8 .
(f) Ibenhal thinks of a number. If she adds 19 to it and divides the sum by 5, she will get 8 .
(g) Anwar thinks of a number. If he takes away 7 from $\frac{5}{2}$ of the number, the result is 23 .
Here are the solutions for the given cases:
(a) Add 4 to eight times a number; you get 60.
- Equation: $8x + 4 = 60$
- Solution: $x = 7$
(b) One-fifth of a number minus 4 gives 3.
- Equation: $\frac{1}{5}x - 4 = 3$
- Solution: $x = 35$
(c) If I take three-fourths of a number and add 3 to it, I get 21.
- Equation: $\frac{3}{4}x + 3 = 21$
- Solution: $x = 24$
(d) When I subtracted 11 from twice a number, the result was 15.
- Equation: $2x - 11 = 15$
- Solution: $x = 13$
(e) Munna subtracts thrice the number of notebooks he has from 50, he finds the result to be 8.
- Equation: $50 - 3x = 8$
- Solution: $x = 14$
(f) Ibenhal thinks of a number. If she adds 19 to it and divides the sum by 5, she will get 8.
- Equation: $\frac{x + 19}{5} = 8$
- Solution: $x = 21$
(g) Anwar thinks of a number. If he takes away 7 from $\frac{5}{2}$ of the number, the result is 23.
- Equation: $\frac{5}{2}x - 7 = 23$
- Solution: $x = 12$
