Question

Solve the equation. Check your solution.

$6+\mathrm{q}=1$

Answer 1

Step 1 : Solve the inequality

We have,

$\Rightarrow 6+\mathrm{q}=1$

$\Rightarrow 6+\mathrm{q}–6=1–6$ [ Subtract $6$ from both sides ]
$\therefore \mathrm{q}=-5$

Step 2 : Checking the solution

Check the solution by putting $\mathrm{q}=-5$in the given inequality

$\Rightarrow 6+(-5)=1$

$\Rightarrow 6-5=1$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 1=1 \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required solution is $\mathrm{q}=-5$.
