Q. The value of the expression (10y – 20) depends on the value of y. Verify this by giving five different values to y and finding for each y the value of (10 y – 20). From the different values of (10y – 20) you obtain, do you see a solution to 10y – 20 = 50? If there is no solution, try giving more values to y and find whether the condition 10y – 20 = 50 is met.
(i) Let y = 2 . We have :
(ii) Let y = 3 . We have :
(iii) Let y = 4 . We have :
(iv) Let y = 5 . We have :
(v) Let y = 6 . We have :
Hence 10y - 20 depends upon y.
Now, consider
Transpose - 20 to the RHS :
