Question

State whether the statements are true or false:
$5$ is the solution of the equation $3x+2=17$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Given, $3x+2=17$.

Transposing $x$ terms to one side, we get,

$\Rightarrow$ $3x=17-2$

$\Rightarrow$ $3x=15$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=\frac{15}{3}$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=5$.

Therefore, the statement is True.

Hence, option $A$ is correct.
