ML Aggarwal 7th Maths Chapter 8, Class 7 Maths Chapter 8 solutions
1. From the algebraic expressions using variables, constants, and arithmetic operations:
(i) 6 more than thrice a number x.
Solution:-
3x + 6
(ii) 5 times x is subtracted from 13.
Solution:-
13 – 5x
(iii) The numbers x and y both squared and added.
Solution:-
x2 + y2
(iv) Number 7 is added to 3 times the product of p and q.
Solution:-
3pq + 7
(v) Three times of x is subtracted from the product of x with itself.
Solution:-
x2 – 3x
(vi) Sum of the numbers m and n is subtracted from their product.
Solution:-
mn – (m + n)
2. A taxi charges ₹ 9 per km and a fixed charge of ₹ 50. If the taxi is hired for x km, write an algebraic expression for this situation.
Solution:-
From the question it is given that,
A taxi charges ₹ 9 per km
A fixed charge of ₹ 50
If the taxi is hired for x km = ₹ (9x + 50)
3. Write down the algebraic expression whose terms are:
(i) 5a, -3b, c
Solution:-
Expressions is defined as, numbers, symbols and operators (such as +. – , × and ÷) grouped together that show the value of something.
So, Expressions = 5a – 3b + c
(ii) x2, -5x, 6
Solution:-
Expressions is defined as, numbers, symbols and operators (such as +. – , × and ÷) grouped together that show the value of something.
So, Expressions = x2 – 5x + 6
(iii) x2y, xy, -xy2
Solution:-
Expressions is defined as, numbers, symbols and operators (such as +. – , × and ÷) grouped together that show the value of something.
So, Expressions = x2y + xy – xy2
4. Write all the terms of each of the following algebraic expressions:
(i) 3 – 7x
Solution:-
In algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or – signs or sometimes by division.
Terms = 3, -7x
(ii) 2 – 5a + ½b
Solution:-
In algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or – signs or sometimes by division.
Terms = 2, -5a, ½b
(iii) 3x5 + 4y3 – 7xy2 + 3
Solution:-
In algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or – signs or sometimes by division.
Terms = 3x5, 4y3, -7xy2, 3
5. Identify the terms and their factors in the algebraic expressions given below:
(i) -4x + 5y
(ii) xy + 2x2y2
(iii) 1.2ab – 2.4b + 3.6a
Solution:-
Expressions is defined as, numbers, symbols and operators (such as +. – , × and ÷) grouped together that show the value of something.
In algebra a term is either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. Terms are separated by + or – signs or sometimes by division.
Factors is defined as, numbers we can multiply together to get another number.
| Sl.No. | Expression | Terms | Factors |
| (i) | – 4x + 5y | -4x5y | -4, x5, y |
| (ii) | Xy + 2x2y2 | xy2x2y2 | x, y2, x, x, y, y |
| (iii) | 1.2ab – 2.4b + 3.6a | 1.2ab-2.4b3.6a | 1.2, a, b-2.4, b3.6, a |
6. Show the terms and their factors by tree diagrams of the following algebraic expressions:
(i) 8x + 3y2
Solution:-
Expression: 8x – 3y2
Terms: 8x, -3y2
Factors: 8, x; 3, y, y

(ii) y – y3
Solution:-
Expression: y – y3
Terms: y, -y3
Factors: y; -y, -y, -y

(iii) 5xy2 + 7x2y
Solution:-
Expression: 5xy2 + 7x2y
Terms: 5xy2, 7x2y
Factors: 5, x, y, y; 7, x, x, y

(iv) -ab + 2b2 – 3a2
Solution:-
Expression: -ab + 2b2 – 3a2
Terms: -ab, 2b2, -3a2
Factors: -a, b; 2, b, b; -3, a, a

7. Write down the numerical coefficient of each of the following:
(i) -7x
(ii) -2x3y2
(iii) 6abcd2
(iv) (2/3)pq2
Solution:-
A coefficient is a number used to multiply a variable (3x means 3 times x, so 3 is a coefficient) Variables on their own (without a number next to them) actually have a coefficient of 1 (x is really 1x)
Then,
(i) -7x numerical co-efficient is -7
(ii) -2x3y2 numerical co-efficient is -2
(iii) 6abcd2 numerical co-efficient is 6
(iv) (2/3)pq2 numerical co-efficient is 2/3
