Question

check wether x=-1 is a solution of the equation 6x -1=-5 or not​

Answer 1

Answer:

If x=1 then from LHS we have,

6x-6

6 (1)-6

I. e 0

so here LHS=RHS hence x=1 for the given equation.

Answer 2

Answer:

put x = -1 in the LHS of the given equation we get

6(-1)-1

-6-1

-7

But RHS =-5

LHS is not equal RHS

Therefore

x=-1 is not a solution of the equation 6x -1=-5

LHS =Left hand side

RHS= Right hand side
