Q 1 – Add: p2qr + pq2r + pqr2 and – 3pq2r –2pqr2
We have,
p2qr + pq2r + pqr2 + (−3pq2r−2pqr2)
= p2qr + pq2r +pqr2−3pq2r − 2pqr2
By combining the like terms,
= p2qr + pq2r − 3pq2r + pqr2−2pqr2= p2qr − 2pq2r−pqr2
Q 2 – What should be subtracted from 2x3 – 3x2y + 2xy2 + 3y3 to get x3 – 2x2y + 3xy2 + 4y3 ?
In order to get the solution, we will subtract x3−2x2y+3xy2+4y3 from 2x3−3x2y+2xy2+3y3.
Required expression is
2x3−3x2y+2xy2+3y3−(x3−2x2y+3xy2+4y3)= 2x3−3x2y+2xy2+3y3−x3+2x2y−3xy2−4y3
On combining the like terms.
=2x3−x3−3x2y+2x2y+2xy2−3xy2+3y3−4y3=x3−x2y−xy2−y3
So, if we subtract x3−x2y−xy2−y3 from 2x3−3x2y+2xy2+3y3. then we get x3−2x2y+3xy2+4y3.
Q 3 –Subtract the sum of 12ab –10b2 –18a2 and 9ab + 12b2 + 14a2 from the sum of
ab + 2b2 and 3b2 – a2
Sum of 12ab−10b2−18a2 and 9ab+12b2+14a2
=12ab−10b2−18a2+9ab+12b2+14a2
On combining the like terms,
=12ab+9ab −10b2 + 12b2−18a2+14a2 = 21ab + 2b2−4a2
Sum of ab + 2b2 and 3b2−a2
=ab+2b2+3b2−a2 = ab + 5b2−a2
Now, subtracting 21ab+2b2−4a2 from ab+5b2−a2, we get
=(ab+5b2−a2)−(21ab + 2b2 − 4a2)=ab + 5b2− a2 − 21ab − 2b2 + 4a2
On combining the like terms,
=ab −21ab + 5b2− 2b2−a2 + 4a2 = − 20ab+3b2+3a2=3a2+3b2 −20ab

Q 11 – How much is y4 – 12y2 + y + 14 greater than 17y3 + 34y2 – 51y + 68?
y4 -12y2 +y+14-(17y3 +34y2 -51y + 68)
= y4 -12y2 +y +14-17y3-34y2 +51y-68 On combining the like terms,
= y4-12y2-34y2 + y +51y +14- 68-17y3
= y4-46y2 + 52y-17y3 -54
= y4 -17y3 -46y2 + 52y -54
So, y4 – 12y2 + y + 14 is y4 – 17y3 – 46y2 + 52y – 54 greater than 17y3+34y2 -51y + 68
Q 12 – What should be added to 3pq + 5p2q2 + p3 to get p3 + 2p2q2 + 4pq ?
Step 1: Subtract 3pq+5p2q2+p3 from p3+2p2q2+4pq
p3+2p2q2 + 4pq −(3pq + 5p2q2 + p3) = p3 + 2p2q2 + 4pq − 3pq − 5p2q2− p3
Step 2:Combine the like terms and simplify
=(p3−p3) + (2p2q2−5p2q2)+(4pq −3pq) = > p3+2p2q2 + 4pq−(3pq+5p2q2+p3)=−3p2q2+pq
Hence, −3p2q2 + pq should be added to 3pq + 5p2q2 + p3 to get p3 + 2p2q2 + 4pq

Q 18 – Rohan’s mother gave him ₹ 3xy2 and his father gave him ₹ 5(xy2 + 2). Out of this total money he spent ₹ (10 – 3xy2) on his birthday party. How much money is left with him?
It is given that rohan’s mother gave him Rs 3xy² and his father gave him Rs 5 (xy²+2) out of his money.
Total earning = 3xy2 + 5 ( xy2 + 2)
= 3xy2 + 5xy2 + 10
= 8xy2 + 10
He spent Rs(10-3xy²) on his birthday party.
Total Expenses = 10 – 3x2
We need to find the remaining amount.
Remaining amount = Total earning – Total Expenses
= 8xy2 + 10 – (10 – 3x2)
= 8xy2 + 10 – (10 – 3x2)
= 11 xy2
Q 19 – Subtract 3x2 – 5y – 2 from 5y – 3x2 + xy and find the value of the result if x = 2, y = –1.
1. To subtract : 3x² – 5y – 2
from 5y – 3x² + xy
2. Find the value of the result fot
x = 2 , y = 1
1. Here the given expressions are
3x² – 5y – 2 and 5y – 3x² + xy
On subtraction we get
= ( 5y – 3x² + xy ) – ( 3x² – 5y

= 5y – 3x² + xy – 3x² + 5y + 2
= – 6x² + xy + 10y + 2
2. Putting x = 2 , y = 1 we get
The required result
= – 6×2 + xy + 10y + 2
= – 6 × (2)2 (2 ×1) +
(10 × 1) + 2
= – 24 + 2 + 10 + 2
