Question

On simplifying: $5t-3=3t-5$
It gives: $t=2$
If this is true enter 1, if false enter 0.

Answer 1

Given, $5t-3=3t-5$

$\Rightarrow$ $5t-3t=-5+3$ [Transposing 3t to LHS and -3 to RHS]

$\Rightarrow$ $2t=-2$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2t}{2}=\frac{-2}{2}$ [Dividing both sides by 2]

$\Rightarrow$ $t=-1$
Check:
$LHS=5t-3=5(-1)-3=-5-3=-8$
$RHS=3t-5=3(-1)-5=-3-5=-8$
Clearly, $LHS=RHS$
Hence checked!!

So the answer is false.
