NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 4 - Linear Equations in Two Variables Exercise 4.1

1. The cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen. Write a linear equation in two variables to represent this statement. (Take the cost of a notebook to be Rs. \[\text{x}\] and that of a pen to be Rs. \[\text{y}\] ) 

Ans. Let the cost of a notebook be Rs. \[x\] and the cost of a pen be Rs. \[y\] .

We know that the cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen.

Therefore, we can write the required linear equation in the form:

\[Cost\text{ }of\text{ }notebook\text{ }=\text{ }2\text{ }\times \text{ }Cost\text{ }of\text{ }pen~~\]

\[x=2y~\]

\[x-2y~=0\] 

2. Express the following linear equations in the form \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] and indicate the values of \[\text{a}\] , \[\text{b}\] , \[\text{c}\] in each case: 

(i) \[\text{2x+3y=9}\text{.3}\overline{\text{5}}\]

Ans. Writing the given equation in standard form \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] :

\[2x+3y=9.3\overline{5}\]

\[2x+3y-9.3\overline{5}=0\]

Comparing this equation with standard form of the linear equation, \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] we have:

\[a=2\]

\[b=3\]

\[c=-9.3\overline{5}\]

(ii) \[\text{x-}\frac{\text{y}}{\text{5}}\text{-10=0}\]

Ans. Writing the given equation in standard form \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] :

\[x-\frac{y}{5}-10=0\]

\[5x-y-50=0\]

Comparing this equation with standard form of the linear equation, \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] we have:

\[a=5\]

\[b=-1\]

\[c=-50\]

(iii) \[\text{-2x+3y=6}\] 

Ans. Writing the given equation in standard form \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] :

\[-2x+3y=6\]

\[-2x+3y-6=0\]

Comparing this equation with standard form of the linear equation, \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] we have:

\[a=-2\]

\[b=3\]

\[c=-6\]

(iv) \[\text{x=3y}\]

Ans. Writing the given equation in standard form \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] :

\[x=3y\]

\[x-3y=0\]

Comparing this equation with standard form of the linear equation, \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] we have:

\[a=1\]

\[b=-3\]

\[c=0\]

(v) \[2x=-5y\] 

Ans. Writing the given equation in standard form \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] :

\[2x=-5y\]

\[2x+5y=0\]

Comparing this equation with standard form of the linear equation, \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] we have:

\[a=2\]

\[b=5\]

\[c=0\]

(vi) \[\text{3x+2=0}\]

Ans. Writing the given equation in standard form \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] :

\[3x+2=0\]

Comparing this equation with standard form of the linear equation, \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] we have:

\[a=3\]

\[b=0\]

\[c=2\]

(vii) \[\text{y-2=0}\] 

Ans. Writing the given equation in standard form \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] :

\[y-2=0\]

Comparing this equation with standard form of the linear equation, \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] we have:

\[a=0\]

\[b=1\]

\[c=-2\]

(viii) \[\text{5=2x}\]

Ans. Writing the given equation in standard form \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] :

\[5=2x\]

\[-2x+5=0\]

Comparing this equation with standard form of the linear equation, \[\text{ax+by+c= 0}\] we have:

\[a=-2\]

\[b=0\]

\[c=5\]
