Question

(a) 2(x + 3) = 5
1. Solve and verify the following equations.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+3)=5

=⟩x+3=5/2

=⟩x=5/2-3

=⟩x=-1/2

Answer 2

solve

2(x+3)=5

=>2x+6=5

=>2x=5-6

=>2x=-1

=>x=-1/2

Verify

By putting the value of x in the following equation

2(x+3)=5

LHS

2(x+3)

=2(-1/2+3)

=2((-1+6/2))

=2×5/2

=5=RHS (Proved) (Ans)
