Algebraic Expressions For Class 7 Maths Important Questions

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 x– 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 −10b+ 12b2−18a2+14a= 21ab + 2b2−4a2

Sum of ab + 2b2 and 3b2−a2

=ab+2b2+3b2−a= ab + 5b2−a2

Now, subtracting 21ab+2b2−4a2 from ab+5b2−a2, we get

=(ab+5b2−a2)−(21ab + 2b− 4a2)=ab + 5b2− a2 − 21ab − 2b2 + 4a2

On combining the like terms,
=ab −21ab + 5b2− 2b2−a2 + 4a2 = − 20ab+3b2+3a2=3a2+3b−20ab

Q 4 – Find the value of the following polynomials at a = – 2 and b = 3.

Q 11 – How much is y4 – 12y+ 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

Step 1 of 2 :

Write down the given expressions

The given expressions are

24xy – 10y – 18x and 30xy + 12y – 14x

Step 2 of 2 :

Perform the subtraction

On subtraction we get

(30xy + 12y – 14x) – (24xy – 10y – 18x)

= 30xy + 12y – 14x –24xy + 10y + 18x

= 30xy – 24xy + 12y + 10y – 14x + 18x

= (30 – 24) xy + (12 + 10) y + (–14x + 18)x

= 6xy + 22y + 4x

= – 26

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
– 2 )

= 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

= – 10
