# NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 12 Algebraic Expressions

NCERT Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 12 Algebraic Expressions: An algebraic expression contains variables, numbers, and operations. In this article, you will get NCERT solutions for class 7 maths chapter 12 algebraic expressions. There are three types of algebraic expressions

• Monomial:-An algebraic expression with only one term is known as a monomial. Example: 2x, 3xy, 4xyz, etc.
• Binomial:- An algebraic expression with two, unlike terms, is known as binomial. Example: 2x+3xy
• Trinomial and Polynomials:- An algebraic expression with more than one unlike term is known as a polynomial. Example: 2x+3xy+4xyz+abc. Binomial and trinomial are also polynomial.

The terms containing the same algebraic factors (i.e those which contain variables) are like terms, for example, 3xy and 5xy are like terms since both have the algebraic factors (i.e those which contain variables) x and y. The term which contains different algebraic factors is unlike terms. For example, 2x and 3xy are unlike terms. In solutions of NCERT for class 7 maths chapter 12 algebraic expressions, you will get questions related to solving all three types of algebraic expressions. Also, you will learn the addition and subtraction of algebraic expression. If an algebraic expression contains the sum of more than one like terms they can be combined to form a single term. For example, 14x+6x+20y+10x can be added and can be written as 30x+20y. There are many problems in the CBSE NCERT solutions for class 7 maths chapter 12 algebraic expressions which will give more clarity of the concepts.

## Question: Describe how the following expressions are obtained:

$7xy+5, x^{2} y,4x^{2}-5x$

$7xy+5$

the above expression is obtained by adding 7xy with 5. Here 7xy is obtained by multiplying 7,x and y

$4 x^2-5x$

the above expression is obtained by subtracting the product of 5 and x from the product of 4,x and x

## CBSE NCERT solutions for class 7 maths chapter 12 algebraic expressions topic 12.3 terms of an expression

$8y+3x^{2},7mn-4,2x^{2}y.$

$8y+3x^{2}$ The terms in the expression are

$8y\ and\ 3x^{2}$

$8y+3x^{2}$ is obtained by adding the product of 8 and y with the product of 3 x and x

the tree diagram for the expression is given below

$7mn-4$ has two terms 7mn and 4 and the expression is obtained by subtracting 4 from the product of 7,m and n. The tree diagram is shown below.

$2x^2y$ has only one term, that is the expression itself.

The expression is formed by multiplying 4 terms 2, x, x and y. The tree diagrams are shown below

We can write as many expressions we need with 4 terms. Following are a few examples of expression with 4 terms

$\\ a+b+c+d\\ab+bc+cd+ad\\abc+bcd+acd+abcd$

$4x-3y,a+b+5,2y+5,2xy$

i) $4x-3y$ has two terms 4x and -3y

the coefficient of x is 4 and the coefficient of y is -3

ii) a+b+5 has 3 terms a,b and a constant that is 5.

the coefficient of a is 1 and b is also 1. Constant terms have no coefficient

iii) 2y+5 has two terms 2y and 5 which is constant.

The coefficient of y is 2. Constant terms have no coefficient

iv) 2xy has only one term which is 2xy and the coefficient of xy is 2

$-3a+7b+16 ?$

Let the term be c which must be subtracted from 2a + 8b + 10 to get -3a + 7b + 16

$\\2a + 8b + 10 - c = -3a + 7b + 16 \\c = 2a + 8b + 10 - (-3a + 7b + 16) \\c = 2a + 8b + 10 + 3a - 7b - 16 \\c = (2 + 3)a + (8 - 7)b + 10 - 16 \\c = 5a + b - 6$

5a + b - 6 must be subtracted from 2a + 8b + 10 to get -3a + 7b + 16

$-x^{2}-y^{2}+6xy+20 ?$

Let the term be a which must be taken away from 3x2 - 4y2 + 5xy + 20 to obtain -x2 - y2 + 6xy + 20

$\\3x^2 - 4y^2 + 5xy + 20 - a = -x^2 - y^2 + 6xy + 20 \\a = 3x^2 - 4y^2 + 5xy + 20 - ( -x^2 - y^2 + 6xy + 20 ) \\a = 3x^2 - 4y^2 + 5xy + 20 + x^2 + y^2 - 6xy - 20 \\a = ( 3 + 1 )x^2 + ( -4 + 1 )y^2 + ( 5 - 6 )xy + 20 - 20 \\a = 4x^2 - 3y^2 - xy$

4x2 - 3y2 - xy must be taken away from 3x2 - 4y2 + 5xy + 20 to obtain -x2 - y2 + 6xy + 20

$\\( 3x - y + 11 + ( - y - 11 ) ) - ( 3x - y - 11 ) \\= 3x - y + 11 - y - 11 - 3x + y + 11 \\= ( 3 - 3 )x + ( -1 - 1 + 1)y + 11 - 11 + 11 \\= -y + 11$

On subtracting 3x - y - 11 from the sum of 3x - y + 11 and -y - 11 we get -y + 11

$\\( 4 + 3x + ( 5 - 4x + 2x^2) ) - ( 3x^2 - 5x + ( -x^2 + 2x + 5) \\= (4 + 3x + 5 - 4x + 2x^2 ) - ( 3x^2 - 5x -x2 + 2x + 5) \\= 4 + 3x + 5 - 4x + 2x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x + x^2 - 2x - 5 \\=4 + 5 - 5 + ( 3 - 4 + 5 - 2 )x + ( 2 - 3 + 1 )x^2 \\=4 + 2x$

On subtracting the sum of $3x^{2}-5x$ and $-x^{2}+2x+5$ from the sum of  $4+3x$ and $5-4x+2x^{2}$ we get $4+2x$

If m = 2 the value of 3m - 5 = 1

$9-5m$

$\\9 - 5m \\= 9 - 5 \times 2 \\= 9 - 10 \\= -1$

If m = 2 the value of 9 - 5m = -1

$3m^{2}-2m-7$

$\\3m^2 - 2m - 7 \\= 3 \times 2^2 - 2 \times 2 - 7 \\= 12 - 4 - 7 \\= 1$

If m = 2 the value of 3m2 - 2m - 7 = 1

$\frac{5m}{2}-4$

$\frac{5m}{2}-4$

$=\frac{5\times 2}{2}-4$

$4p+7$

$\\4p + 7 \\= 4 \times ( -2 ) + 7 \\= -8 + 7 \\= -1$

If p = -2 the value of 4p + 7 = -1

$-3p^{2}+4p+7$

$\\-3p^2 + 4p + 7 \\= -3 x ( -2 )^2 + 4 x ( -2 ) + 7 \\= -12 - 8 + 7 \\= -13$

If p = -2 the value of -3p2 + 4p + 7 = -13

$-2p^{3}-3p^{2}+4p+7$

$\\-2p3 - 3p2 + 4p + 7 \\= - 2 \times ( -2)^3 - 3 \times ( -2 )^2 + 4 \times ( -2 ) + 7 \\= 16 - 12 - 8 + 7 \\= 3$

If p = -2 the value of -2p3 - 3p2 + 4p + 7 = 3

$2x-7$

$\\2x - 7 \\= 2 \times ( -1 ) - 7 \\= -2 - 7 \\= -9$

$x^{2}+2x+1$

$\\x^2 + 2x + 1 \\= ( -1 )^2 + 2 \times ( -1 ) + 1 \\= 1 - 2 + 2 \\= 0$

If x = -1 the value of x2 + 2x + 1 = 0

$2x^{2}-x-2$

$\\2x^2 - x - 2 \\= 2\times ( -1 )^2 - ( -1 ) - 2 \\ = 2 + 1 - 2 \\= 1$

So the value at x=-1 is 1

$a^{2}+b^{2}$

If a = 2 and b = -2 the value of a2 + b2 = 8

$a^{2}+ab+b^{2}$

$\\a^2 + ab + b^2 \\= 2^2 + 2 \times ( -2 ) + ( -2 )^2 \\= 4 - 4 + 4 \\= 4$

If a = 2 and b = -2 the value of a2 + ab + b2 = 4

$a^{2}-b^{2}$

a2 - b2

= 22 - ( -2 )2

= 4 - 4

= 0

If a = 2 and b = -2 the value of a2 - b= 0

$2a+2b$

$\\2a + 2b \\= 2 \times 0 + 2 \times ( -1 ) \\= 0 - 2 \\= -2$

When a = 0 and b = -1 the value of the given expression 2a + 2b = -2

$2a^{2}+b^{2}+1$

$\\2a^2 + b^2 + 1 \\= 2 \times 0^2 + ( -1 )2 + 1 \\= 0 + 1 + 1 \\= 2$

When a = 0 and b = -1 the value of the given expression 2a2 + b2 + 1 = 2

$2a^{2}b+2ab^{2}+ab$

$\\2a^2b + 2ab^2 + ab \\= 2 \times 0^2 \times ( -1 ) + 2 \times 0 \times ( -1 )^2 + 0 \times ( -1 )\\ = 0 + 0 + 0 \\= 0$

When a = 0 and b = -1 the value of the given expression 2a2b + 2ab2 + ab = 0

$a^{2}+ab+2$

$\\a^2 + ab + 2 \\= 0^2 + 0 \times ( -1 ) + 2 \\= 0 + 0 + 2 \\= 2$

When a = 0 and b = -1 the value of the given expression a2 + ab + 2 = 2

$x+7+4(x-5)$

$\\x + 7 + 4( x - 5 ) \\= x + 7 + 4x - 20 \\= 5x - 13 \\= 5 \times 2 - 13 \\= 10 - 13 \\= -3$

If x is equal to 2 the value of x + 7 + 4( x - 5 ) = -3

$3(x+2)+5x-7$

$\\3( x + 2 ) + 5x - 7 \\= 3x + 6 + 5x - 7 \\= 8x - 1 \\= 8 \times (2) - 1 \\= 16 - 1 \\= 15$

If x is equal to 2 the value of 3( x + 2 ) + 5x - 7 = 15

$6x+5(x-2)$

$\\6x + 5( x - 2 ) \\= 6x + 5x - 10 \\= 11x - 10 \\= 11 \times 2 - 10 \\= 22 - 10 \\= 12$

If x is equal to 2 the value of  6x + 5( x - 2 ) = 12

$4(2x-1)+3x+11$

$\\4( 2x - 1 ) + 3x + 11 \\= 8x - 4 + 3x + 11 \\= 11x + 7 \\= 11 \times 2 + 7 \\= 22 + 7 \\= 29$

(iii)  $3a+5-8a+1$

(iv) $10-3b-4-5b$

(v)  $2a-2b-4-5+a$

The expression is simplified as follows and also obtained their values

(i)

$\\ 3x - 5 - x + 9 \\= 2x + 4 \\= 2 \times 3 + 4 \\= 10$

(ii)

$\\ 2 - 8x + 4x + 4 \\= 6 - 4x \\= 6 - 4 \times 3 \\= -6$

(iii)

$\\3a + 5 - 8a + 1 \\= -5a + 6 \\= -5 \times ( -1 ) + 6 \\= 5 + 6 \\=11$

(iv)

$\\10 - 3b - 4 - 5b \\= 6 - 8b \\= 6 - 8 \times ( -2 ) \\= 6 + 16 \\= 22$

(v)

$\\2a - 2b - 4 - 5 + a \\= 3a - 2b - 9 \\= 3 \times ( -1 ) - 2 \times ( -2 ) - 9 \\= -3 + 4 - 9 \\= -8$

$z^{3}-3(z-10)$

$\\z^3 - 3( z - 10 ) \\= z^3 - 3z + 30 \\= 10^3 - 3 \times 10 + 30 \\= 1000 - 30 + 30 \\= 1000$

If z = 10 the value of z3 - 3( z - 10 ) = 1000

$p^{2}-2p-100$

$\\p^2 - 2p - 100 \\= ( -10 )^2 - 2 \times ( -10 ) - 100 \\= 100 + 20 - 100 \\= 20$

If p = -10 the value of p2 - 2p - 100 = 20

$x=0?$

$\\2x^2 + x - a = 5 \\2 \times 0^2 + 0 - a = 5 \\-a = 5 \\a = -5$

Therefore for a = -5 when the value of x=0

$b=-3\; .2(a^{2}+ab)+3-ab$

$\\2( a^2 + ab ) + 3 - ab \\= 2a^2 + 2ab + 3 - ab \\= 2a^2 + ab + 3 \\= 2 \times 5^2 + 5 \times ( -3 ) + 3 \\= 50 - 15 + 3 \\= 38$

When a = 5 and b = -3 the value 2( a2 + ab ) + 3 - ab = 38

If the number of digits formed is taken to be n, the number of segments required to form n digits is given by the algebraic expression appearing on the right of each pattern. How many segments are required to form 5, 10, 100 digits of the kind

The number of segments required to form n of each digits shown above are 5n + 1, 3n + 1 and 5n + 2

When n = 5

$\\5n + 1 = 5 \times 5 + 1 = 26 \\3n + 1 = 3 \times 5 + 1 = 16 \\5n + 2 = 5 \times 5 + 2 = 27$
