Question
x = 5 is the solution of the equation 3x + 2 = 20.
Options
True
False
Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
Given equation is 3x + 2 = 20
⇒ 3x = 20 – 2 .....[Transposing + 2 to RHS]
⇒ 3x = 18
⇒ `(3x)/3 = 18/3` .....[Dividing both sides by 3]
⇒ x = 6
So, the solution of the given equation is x = 6.
But, x = 5 is the solution of the given equation.
