Question

Verify by substitution that the root of 5x-8=2x-2 is x=2​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2)-8=2(2)-2

10-8=4-2

2=2

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Its given that,

5x - 8 = 2x - 2

5x - 2x = -2 + 8

3x = 6

x = $\frac{6}{3}$

x = 2

hence verified that,

x = 2 is a ROOT of  5x - 8 = 2x - 2
