(a) x - 1 = 0
(b) x + 1 = 0
(c) x - 1 = 5
(d) x + 6 = 2
(e) y - 4 = - 7
(f) y - 4 = 4

Answer
(i) Let m be the number of Parmit’s marbles.
5m+7=37
(ii) Let the age of Laxmi be y years.
3y+4=49
(iii) Let the lowest score be l.
2l+7=87
(iv) Let the base angle of the isosceles triangle be, b so vertex angle = 2b
2b+b+b=180∘
⇒4b=180∘[Angle sum property of a Δ]
