Question

x = 5 is the solution of the equation 3x + 2 = 20.

पर्याय

• True

• False

Answer 1

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.
