Question

Solve the equation. Check your solution.

$\mathrm{p}–3=-4$

Answer 1

Step 1 : Solve the inequality

We have,

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{p}–3=-4$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{p}–3+3=-4+3$ [ Add $3$ both sides ]
$\therefore \mathrm{p}=-1$

Step 2 : Checking the solution

Check the solution by putting $\mathrm{p}=-1$ in the given inequality

We have,

$\Rightarrow -1–3=-4$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow –4=-4 \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required solution is $\mathrm{p}=-1$.
