Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.

$\frac{9}{5}$ is the solution of the equation $4x-1=8$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Given $4x-1=8$

Transpose $\text{'}-1\text{'}$on RHS

$4x=8+1$

$4x=9$

$\therefore x=\frac{9}{4}$

Therefore, the solution for $4x-1=8$ is $\frac{9}{4}$ not $\frac{9}{5}$

Hence given statement is false.
