Question

solve the following equation and verify your answer 2x=5+x

Answer 1

Given

2x = 5 + x

On solving further, we get

2x - x = 5

x = 5

Now,

Verification :

LHS : 2x = 2 ( 5 ) = 10

RHS : 5 + x = 5 + 5 = 10

LHS = RHS

Hence, verified

Answer 2

Equation evaluation

Given 2x = 5 + x
= 2x - x = 5 ( transposing x to LHS )
= x = 5 ( hence we get answer 5 )

Verification of the following equation

2 (5) = 10 ( it’s the verification of LHS ) ( it was earlier 2x which we replaced from our answer 5)

5 + 5 = 10 ( verification of RHS )

Hence our equation has been verified
