Question

State true or false:

The root of the equation $10x-5=2x-1$ is $\frac{1}{2}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Given, $10x-5=2x-1$
First check for $\frac{1}{2}$:
$10\times \frac{1}{2}-5=2\times \frac{1}{2}-1$
$\Rightarrow 5-5=1-1$
$\Rightarrow 0=0$
Since equality is correct, then $\frac{1}{2}$ is root of the equation.
