Question

Check whether x=2 is the solution of the equation 3x-4 = 16

Answer 1

Equation: 3x - 4 = 16

To Verify: x = 2 is the solution of the equation.

3(2) - 4 = 16

LHS               RHS

3(2) - 4   =      16

6  -  4     =      16

2            ≠       16

LHS ≠ RHS

∴ x = 2 is not the solution of the equation.    

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x=2

3x-4=16

3(2)-4=16

6-4=16

2=16

So x=2 is not the Sol for this sum
