Question
Solve the following equation by trial and error method:
5p + 2 = 17
Advertisements
Solution
5p + 2 = 17
Putting p = 1 in L.H.S.,
(5 × 1) + 2 = 7 ≠ R.H.S.
Putting p = 2 in L.H.S.,
(5 × 2) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12 ≠ R.H.S.
Putting p = 3 in L.H.S.,
(5 × 3) + 2 = 17 = R.H.S.
Hence, p = 3 is a solution of the given equation.
