Answer 2

Given:

The equation:-

2x - 3 = x + 2

Options:

1. -4
2. 5
3. -8
4. 2

What To Find:

We have to find the value of x.

Solution:

2x - 3 = x + 2

Take 3 to RHS and x to LHS,

⇒ 2x - x = 2 + 3

Subtract x from 2x,

⇒ x = 2 + 3

Add 2 and 3,

⇒ x = 5

That is,

⇒ Option 2 (b)

Verification:

2x - 3 = x + 2

Substitute the values,

⇒ 2 × 5 - 3 = 5 + 2

Muliply 2 by 5,

⇒ 10 - 3 = 5 + 2

Solve the brackets,

⇒ 7 = 7

∴ LHS = RHS

∴ Hence, verified.
