Solve the following equation by trial and error method:
3m - 14 = 4
Advertisements
Solution
Let m = 1
Therefore, 3m − 14
= 3 × 1 − 14
= 3 − 14
= −11
But, −11 ≠ 4
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Now, let's assume m = 2
Therefore, 3m − 14
= 3 × 2 − 14
= 6 − 14
= −8
But, −8 ≠ 4
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Now, let's assume m = 3
Therefore, 3m − 14
= 3 × 3 − 14
= 9 − 14
= −5
But, −5 ≠ 4
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Now, let's assume m = 4
= 12 − 14
= −2
But, −2 ≠ 4
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Now, let's assume m = 5
Therefore, 3m − 14
= 3 × 5 − 14
= 15 − 14
= 1
But, 1≠ 4
L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.
Now, let's assume m = 6
Therefore, 3m − 14
= 3 × 6 − 14
= 18 − 14
= 4
Therefore, m = 6
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
