Introduction
A simple equation is a mathematical statement containing an unknown quantity represented by a variable. The equality sign indicates that the expressions on both sides have the same value.
For example:
$$5x-8=27$$
To find the value of $$x$$, we use inverse operations while maintaining equality on both sides.
Simple equations can also be used to solve practical problems involving numbers, ages, lengths, costs, and perimeters.
This Practice Set 9 contains 5 fresh MCQs designed to strengthen equation-solving and application-based reasoning.

Q1. Solve the equation:
$$9x-7=4x+28$$
A) $$5$$
B) $$6$$
C) $$7$$
D) $$8$$
Answer:
C) $$7$$
Useful Concept
When the variable occurs on both sides, collect all variable terms on one side and constants on the other side.
Solution
Given:
$$9x-7=4x+28$$
Subtract $$4x$$ from both sides:
$$9x-4x-7=28$$
$$5x-7=28$$
Add $$7$$ to both sides:
$$5x=35$$
Divide by $$5$$:
$$x=7$$
Verification
Left side:
$$9(7)-7=63-7=56$$
Right side:
$$4(7)+28=28+28=56$$
Therefore:
$$56=56$$
Hence, the solution is correct.
Correct Answer: C) $$7$$
Q2. Find the value of $$x$$:
$$\frac{x}{6}+4=9$$
A) $$24$$
B) $$30$$
C) $$36$$
D) $$42$$
Answer:
B) $$30$$
Useful Concept
First isolate the fractional term and then multiply by the denominator.
Solution
Given:
$$\frac{x}{6}+4=9$$
Subtract $$4$$ from both sides:
$$\frac{x}{6}=5$$
Multiply both sides by $$6$$:
$$x=30$$
Verification
$$\frac{30}{6}+4=5+4=9$$
Therefore, the solution is correct.
Correct Answer: B) $$30$$
Q3. The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 78. What is the smallest number?
A) $$22$$
B) $$24$$
C) $$26$$
D) $$28$$
Answer:
B) $$24$$
Useful Concept
Three consecutive even numbers can be represented as:
$$x,\ x+2,\ x+4$$
Solution
Let the smallest even number be:
$$x$$
Then the next two even numbers are:
$$x+2,\quad x+4$$
Their sum is $$78$$:
$$x+(x+2)+(x+4)=78$$
Simplify:
$$3x+6=78$$
Subtract $$6$$:
$$3x=72$$
Divide by $$3$$:
$$x=24$$
Therefore, the smallest number is:
$$24$$
Verification
The numbers are:
$$24,\ 26,\ 28$$
Their sum is:
$$24+26+28=78$$
Hence, the answer is correct.
Correct Answer: B) $$24$$
Q4. The length of a rectangle is 7 cm more than its breadth. If its perimeter is 54 cm, what is its breadth?
A) $$8$$ cm
B) $$9$$ cm
C) $$10$$ cm
D) $$11$$ cm
Answer:
B) $$10$$ cm
Useful Concept
For a rectangle:
$$P=2(l+b)$$
If the breadth is $$x$4, then the length is $$x+74$.
Solution
Let the breadth be:
$$x\text{ cm}$$
Then the length is:
$$x+7\text{ cm}$$
Given perimeter:
$$54\text{ cm}$$
Using:
$$P=2(l+b)$$
we get:
$$2[(x+7)+x]=54$$
Simplify:
$$2(2x+7)=54$$
$$4x+14=54$$
Subtract $$14$$:
$$4x=40$$
Divide by $$4$$:
$$x=10$$
Therefore, the breadth is:
$$10\text{ cm}$$
Verification
Length:
$$10+7=17\text{ cm}$$
Perimeter:
$$2(17+10)=2(27)=54\text{ cm}$$
Therefore, the answer is correct.
Correct Answer: C) $$10$$ cm
Correction: The calculated value is $10$ cm, which corresponds to option C, not B.
Hence, the correct answer is:
C) $$10$$ cm
Q5. Riya has ₹80 more than twice the amount of money that Neha has. If Riya has ₹240, how much money does Neha have?
A) ₹60
B) ₹70
C) ₹80
D) ₹90
Answer:
C) ₹80
Useful Concept
If Neha has ₹$$x$$, twice her amount is ₹$$2x$$. ₹80 more than this is:
$$2x+80$$
Solution
Let the amount Neha has be:
$$₹x$$
Riya has:
$$₹(2x+80)$$
Given that Riya has ₹240:
$$2x+80=240$$
Subtract ₹80:
$$2x=160$$
Divide by $$2$$:
$$x=80$$
Therefore, Neha has:
$$₹80$$
Verification
$$2(80)+80=160+80=240$$
Hence, the answer is correct.
Correct Answer: C) ₹80
Important Formulas & Concepts
Variable on Both Sides
For:
$$ax+b=cx+d$$
collect variable terms on one side and constants on the other.
Fractional Equation
For:
$$\frac{x}{a}+b=c$$
we get:
$$\frac{x}{a}=c-b$$
and therefore:
$$x=a(c-b)$$
Three Consecutive Even Numbers
If the smallest even number is $$x$$:
$$x,\ x+2,\ x+4$$
Perimeter of Rectangle
$$P=2(l+b)$$
where:
- $$l$$ = length
- $$b$$ = breadth
Twice a Number
$$2x$$
$k$ More Than Twice a Number
$$2x+k$$
Verification
Substitute the obtained value into the original equation to confirm that both sides are equal.
