Q3(iii):
Check which of the following are solutions of the equation $x - 2y = 4$ and which are not: (iii) $(4, 0)$

Solution :

Given Variables & Initial Setup

We are given a linear equation in two variables and an ordered pair representing a point on the Cartesian plane. Our objective is to determine mathematically whether the given point lies on the line defined by the equation.

  • The Linear Equation: $x - 2y = 4$
  • The Ordered Pair (Point): $(4, 0)$

Step 1: Coordinate Identification & Substitution

An ordered pair is written in the format $(x, y)$. [Per the fundamental principles of coordinate geometry, a point is a solution to an equation if and only if substituting its coordinates into the equation results in a true mathematical statement].

From the given point $(4, 0)$, we extract the specific coordinate values:

  • Abscissa ($x$-coordinate): $x = 4$
  • Ordinate ($y$-coordinate): $y = 0$

We substitute these values into the Left-Hand Side (LHS) of the given equation.

$\text{LHS} = x - 2y$

$\text{LHS} = (4) - 2(0)$

Step 2: Algebraic Evaluation

Applying the standard order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), we first perform the multiplication, followed by the subtraction.

$\text{LHS} = 4 - 0$

$\text{LHS} = 4$

Step 3: Verification of Equality

We now compare the evaluated Left-Hand Side (LHS) with the Right-Hand Side (RHS) of the original equation.

  • $\text{LHS} = 4$
  • $\text{RHS} = 4$

Since $\text{LHS} = \text{RHS}$, the equation holds true. [By the Axiom of Equality, the substitution satisfies the linear equation, proving that the point geometrically lies exactly on the line].

Graphical Representation & Verification

To rigorously verify this result, we can map the equation $x - 2y = 4$ and the point $(4, 0)$ onto a Cartesian coordinate system. The line intersects the x-axis precisely at the point $(4, 0)$.

X Y 0 4 -4 4 -2 x - 2y = 4 (4, 0)

Final Solution: The ordered pair $(4, 0)$ satisfies the equation $x - 2y = 4$. Therefore, $(4, 0)$ is a valid solution to the given linear equation.

Teaching Experience in Detail (Class 10 Tuition) I have over 10 years of experience teaching CBSE, ICSE, and State Board Class 10 students, helping them achieve excellent results in their board examinations through a structured and concept-oriented teaching approach. I specialize in Science, Mathematics, Social Science, and English, ensuring students develop a thorough understanding of each subject rather than relying on rote learning. My teaching methodology begins with strengthening fundamental concepts, followed by chapter-wise practice, NCERT-based learning, important board questions, competency-based questions, case study questions, and previous years' board papers. Regular assignments, periodic tests, and detailed performance analysis help students identify weak areas and improve consistently. I provide personalized attention to every student by adapting my teaching style to their learning pace. My classes include interactive discussions, doubt-clearing sessions, revision plans, and exam-oriented strategies that build confidence and improve time management. My objective is to help students not only score high marks in the Class 10 Board Examination but also develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills that prepare them for higher secondary education. Through consistent guidance, disciplined practice, and individual mentoring, I strive to make learning enjoyable, effective, and result-oriented.
