Question

State whether the statement is true or false:

$5$ is the solution of the equation $3\mathrm{x}+2=17$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The given statement is as follows:

$5$ is the solution of the equation $3\mathrm{x}+2=17$

Here LHS is $3\mathrm{x}+2$ and RHS is $17$

Now substitute $\mathrm{x}=5$ in LHS. We get, $3\times 5+2=15+2=17$

Which is equal to the RHS.

$\because \mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS}$

Hence $5$ is the solution of the equation $3\mathrm{x}+2=17$.

Therefore the given statement is true.
