NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 11: Algebra - Exercise 11.3

Exercise 11.3

1. Make up as many expressions with numbers (no variables) as you can from three numbers 5, 7 and 8. Every number should be used not more than once. Use only addition, subtraction and multiplication.

Ans: Since there are only three numbers 5, 7 and 8, only two signs from $ + $, $ - $ and $ \times $  can be used at once.

The expressions that can be formed by using $ + $ and $ - $ are as follows.

$5 + \left( {8 - 7} \right)$

$5 + \left( {7 - 8} \right)$

$7 + \left( {8 - 5} \right)$

$7 + \left( {5 - 8} \right)$

$8 + \left( {7 - 5} \right)$

$8 + \left( {5 - 7} \right)$

$5 - \left( {7 + 8} \right)$

$7 - \left( {5 + 8} \right)$

$8 - \left( {5 + 7} \right)$

The expressions that can be formed by using $ + $ and $ \times $ are as follows.

$5 + \left( {8 \times 7} \right)$

$7 + \left( {8 \times 5} \right)$

$8 + \left( {5 \times 7} \right)$

$5 \times \left( {8 + 7} \right)$

$7 \times \left( {8 + 5} \right)$

$8 \times \left( {7 + 5} \right)$

The expressions that can be formed by using $ - $ and $ \times $ are as follows.

$5 - \left( {8 \times 7} \right)$

$7 - \left( {8 \times 5} \right)$

$8 - \left( {7 \times 5} \right)$

$5 \times \left( {8 - 7} \right)$

$5 \times \left( {7 - 8} \right)$

$7 \times \left( {8 - 5} \right)$

$7 \times \left( {5 - 8} \right)$

$8 \times \left( {7 - 5} \right)$

$8 \times \left( {5 - 7} \right)$

2. Which out of the following are expressions with numbers only?

1. \[\mathbf{y + 3}\]

Ans: The given expression \[y + 3\] contains the variable $y$, which is not a number.

Hence, \[y + 3\] is not an expression with numbers only.

2. $\mathbf{\left( {7 \times 20} \right) - 8}z$

Ans: The given expression $\left( {7 \times 20} \right) - 8z$ contains the variable $z$, which is not a number.

Hence, $\left( {7 \times 20} \right) - 8z$ is not an expression with numbers only.

3. $\mathbf{5\left( {21 - 7} \right) + 7 \times 2}$

Ans: The given expression $5\left( {21 - 7} \right) + 7 \times 2$ does not contain variable.

Hence, $5\left( {21 - 7} \right) + 7 \times 2$ is an expression with numbers only.

4. 5

Ans: The given expression 5 does not contain variable.

Hence, it is an expression with numbers only.

5. $\mathbf{3x}$

Ans: The given expression $3x$ contains a variable $x$, which is not a number.

Hence, $3x$ is not an expression with numbers only.

6. $\mathbf{5 - 5n}$

Ans: The given expression $5 - 5n$ contains a variable $n$, which is not a number.

Hence, $5 - 5n$ is not an expression with numbers only.

7. $\mathbf{\left( {7 \times 20} \right) - \left( {5 \times 10} \right) - 45 + p}$

Ans: The given expression $\left( {7 \times 20} \right) - \left( {5 \times 10} \right) - 45 + p$ contains variable $p$, which is not a number.

Hence, $\left( {7 \times 20} \right) - \left( {5 \times 10} \right) - 45 + p$ is not an expression with numbers only.

3. Identify the operations (addition, subtraction, division, multiplication) in forming the following expressions and tell how the expressions have been formed.

1. \[\mathbf{z + 1,{\text{ }}z--1,{\text{ }}y + 17,\,{\text{ }}y--17}\]

Ans: $z + 1$ is an expression where $z$ and 1 are added.

Therefore, the required operation is addition.

$z - 1$ is an expression where 1 is subtracted from $z$.

Therefore, the required operation is subtraction.

$y + 17$ is an expression where 17 is added to $y$.

Therefore, the required operation is addition.

$y - 17$ is an expression where 17 is subtracted from $y$.

Therefore, the required operation is subtraction.

2. $\mathbf{17y,{\text{ }}\dfrac{y}{{17}},{\text{ }}5z}$

Ans: $17y$ is an expression where $y$ is multiplied by 17.

Therefore, the required operation is multiplication.

$\dfrac{y}{{17}}$ is an expression where $y$ is divided by 17.

Therefore, the required operation is division.

$5z$ is an expression where $z$ and 5 are to be uploaded.

Therefore, the required operation is multiplication.

3. $\mathbf{2y + 17,{\text{ }}2y - 17}$

Ans: $2y + 17$ is an expression where first $y$ is multiplied by 2. Then 17 is added to the obtained result.

Therefore, the required operation is multiplication and addition.

$2y - 17$ is an expression where the first $y$ is multiplied by 2. Then 17 is subtracted from the obtained result.

Therefore, the required operation is multiplication and subtraction.

4. \[7m,{\text{ }} - 7m + 3,{\text{ }} - 7m--3\]

Ans: \[7m\]is an expression where $m$ is multiplied by 7.

Therefore, the required operation is multiplication.

\[ - 7m + 3\] is an expression where the first $m$ is multiplied by $ - 7$. Then 3 is added to the obtained result.

Therefore, the required operation is multiplication and addition.

\[ - 7m - 3\] is an expression where the first $m$ is multiplied by $ - 7$. Then 3 is subtracted from the obtained result.

Therefore, the required operation is multiplication and subtraction.
