A linear equation is an equation in
which the highest power of the
variable is always 1. It is also
known as a one-degree equation.

Solution:
Let 𝑥 be the width of frame, where the dimensions of painting
are 12 by 16 inches.
Overall width of rectangle (painting + frame)=12 + 2𝑥
Overall height of rectangle (painting + frame)=16 + 2𝑥
The perimeter of rectangle is:
𝑃 =2 𝑙+𝑤
72 = 2 (12 + 2𝑥) + (16 + 2𝑥)
72 = 2 12 + 2𝑥 + 16 + 2𝑥
Q7: Ex#5.1
72 = 2 28 + 4𝑥
72 = 56 + 8𝑥

72 − 56 = 8𝑥
16 = 8𝑥

Solution:
Let 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 be the amount invested in a stock that realized a
15% gain and 7% loss respectively.
The total investment is 15000.
𝑥 + 𝑦 = 15000 ---------------- > (i)
The gain from first part is 15% of 𝑥 and loss from the second part is
7%of 𝑦
0.15𝑥 − 0.07𝑦 = 1590 ---------------- > (ii)
From eq.(i) y = 15000 − 𝑥
Q8: Ex#5.1
Eq.(ii) becomes
0.15𝑥 − 0.07 15000 − 𝑥 = 1590
0.15𝑥 − 1050 + 0.07𝑥 = 1590
0.22𝑥 = 1590 + 1050
0.22𝑥 = 2640
2640
𝑥=
0 ⋅ 22
𝑥 = 12000
𝑦 = 15000 − 12000
𝑦 = 3000
Q8: Ex#5.1

Thus, Rs 12000 was invested at 15% gain and Rs.3000 was

invested at 7% loss.

Solution:
Let 𝑣 be the Ahmad’s average speed in km/hr for the first three
hours.
During last two hours, his speed was
𝑣 − 10 𝑘𝑚/ℎ𝑟 ---------------- > (i)
So the distance travelled in first 3 hours is 3𝑣 and the
Distance travelled in last two hours, his speed was
2(𝑣 − 10 )
Q9: Ex#5.1
The total distance from Lahore to Islamabad is 250km
3𝑣 + 2 𝑣 − 10 = 250

3𝑣 + 2𝑣 − 20 = 250
5𝑣 = 250 + 20
5𝑣 = 270
270
𝑣=

𝑣 = 54
Therefore, Ahmad’s average speed for the first three hours of
his journey was 54km/hr.
