Question

Check whether the value given in the bracket is a solution to the given equation or not:

7n + 5 = 19 (n = − 2)

Sum

Solution

7n + 5 = 19 (n = −2)

Putting n = −2 in

L.H.S. = 7n + 5

= 7 × (−2) + 5

= −14 + 5

= −9 ≠ 19

As L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.,

Therefore, n = −2 is not a solution of the given equation, 7n + 5 = 19.
