Question

Verify whether x = 5 is the solution of the equation 2x – 4 = 6

Answer 1

Answer:

it is a solution. Verified.

Answer 2

To verify that 5 is the solution of (2x - 4 = 6), simply put 5 in place of x and check if the Left-Hand-Side is equal to the Right-Hand-Side or not.

2x - 4 = 6

2(5) - 4 = 6

10 - 4 = 6

6 = 6

Since, L.H.S. is equal to R.H.S., 5 is the solution of the given equation.

Hence, verified.
