How to check the solution of linear equation

Open in App
Solution

You can check by substituting your solution values into the given equation nd verify that it is satisfied.
If you are talking about an equation in 1 variable suppose the equation is 3x + 15 = 21
if you got the answer x = 2, on substituting x = 2 the equation left hand side is 3(2) +15 = 21
so it is verified.
Similar approach with equation in 2 variables
x + y = 9
2x+3y = 23
If your solution is x = 4 and y = 5 substitute in both equations and verify them
4+5 = 9 so correct
2(4) +3(5) = 23 so also verified
