Answer 1

my friend here is ur answer
5(2)-8=2(2)-2
10-8=4-2
2=2
hence verified

Answer 2

Hey

Here is your answer,

Given that,

X = 2 is a root of the equation 5x - 8 = 2x - 2

Substitute the value of x in the given equation,

5 x 2 - 8 = 2 x 2 - 2
10-8 = 4-2
2 = 2
2 - 2 = 0

since it gives the value 0 when substituting root , it is been verified .

Hope it helps you!
