Step-by-step explanation:
24x+4+2x=3(10x-1)
placing x=2 in given equation
24(2)+4+2(2)=3[10(2)-1]
48+4+4=3(19)
56=57
this is contrary
hence x=2 is not correct answer
therefore Chad is claiming wrong

Step-by-step explanation:
When x=2
RHS = 3(10x-1)
= 3[(10(2) -1]
= 3 (20-1)
= 3×19
=57
LHS = 24x + 4 + 2x
=24(2) + 4 + 2(2)
=48+4+4=3(19)
=56
≠ RHS
Therefore, LHS≠RHS
Hence, Chad's claim of x=2 makes the equation true Is false.
Kindly verify my ans from any other external source if needed. Not forcing u to risk on my and cuz exams r up buddy. but go through my working and if u find and fault.. do the needful.
Thanks and regards,
