Question

x =3 is the root of 5x-6=8,tell whether the statement is true or false ?justify your answer


​

Answer 1

Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-6=8

5x=8+6

5x=14

x=14/5

x=2.8

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$x =3$ is the root of $5x-6=8$

As we have to justify the given statement,

In order to do that, plug the given value of x as $3$ in the equation,

We have,

=> $5x-6=8$

=> 5 ( 3 ) - 6 = 8

Multiply the numbers, we get

=> 15 - 6 = 8

=> 9 ≠ 8

LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, given statement $x =3$ is the root of $5x-6=8$ is false.
