Question

1. Is x = -2 a solution of the equation 2(x – 3) = 5x + 2?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$2(x - 3) = 5x + 2 \\ placing \: the \: value \: in \: equation \\ \\ lhs = > \\ 2(x - 3) \\ 2( - 2 - 3) \\ 2( - 5) \\ - 10 \\ \\ rhs = > \\ 5x + 2 \\ 5( - 2) + 2 \\ - 10 + 2 \\ - 8$

LHS is not equal to RHS

Therefore, (-2)is not a solution of the equation.
