Answer 1

Hey mate, here is your answer :-

In the given question,

$5a \: = 16 \: (8) \\ we \: have \: to \: find \: if \: (8) \: is \: solution \: of \: the \: given \: equation \: or \: not \: \\ \\ put \: 8 \: in \: \: \: l.h.s. \: in \: given \: equation \: \\ 5a = 5 \times 8 \\ = 40 \\ \\ now \\ r.h.s. \: = 16 \\ hence \: \\ l.h.s. \: is \: not \: equal \: to \: r.h.s. \\ \\ \\ from \: this \: we \: can \: say \: that \: \\ the \: number \: given \: in \: the \: bracket \: (8) \: is \: not \: the \: solution \: of \: given \: equation \: 5a = 16$
