Which of the following is not a linear equation in one variable?

• 33y+5 = 0

• 2x+6y=9

• 11y=0

• 3x+5=8

Answer explanation

2x+6y=9

The above equation has two variables 'x' and 'y'. Therefore, it's not a linear equation in one variable.

The degree of x² – 5x + 2 = x³ is:

• 2

• 1

• 0

• 3

Answer explanation

Degree is the highest power of the variable in an equation. Therefore, in the given equation, the highest degree is 3.

Find the value of x if 2x + 10 = 76.

• 33

• 53

• 43

• 64

Answer explanation

2x + 10 = 76

=> 2x = 76 – 10

=> 2x = 66

=> x = 66/2

=> x = 33

The perimeter of the rectangle is 40cm. If the length of the rectangle is 12cm, then its breadth will be:

• 4cm

• 40cm

• 8cm

• 80cm

Answer explanation

Perimeter of a rectangle= 2×(l + b)

=> 40 = 2(12+x)

=> 12+x = 40/2

=> 12+x = 20

=> x = 20-12

=> x=8 cm
