Question

Check if p = 4 is the solution of
$\frac{1}{2}(p + 3) = 7$
​

Answer 1

Put the value of p in the R.H.S.:

$\frac{1}{2} (4 + 3)$

$= \frac{1}{2} (7)$

$= \frac{7}{2}$

But on L.H.S, it's written 7.

Hence, p=4 is not the solution of this equation.

Answer 2

Answer:

4 IS NOT THE VALUE FOR p

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN VALUE OF p = 4

SO,

SUBSTITUTING THE VALUE OF p IN THE SOLUTION,

WE GET,

1/2(p+3) =  7

SO,

FOR LHS,

1/2(p+3)

1/2(4+3)

(1/2)*7

7/2

3.5

FOR RHS,

7

SO,

AS,

LHS≠RHS

∴ 4 IS NOT THE VALUE FOR p
