Question

State whether the statement is true or false:

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

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The given statement is as follows:

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

Here L.H.S is $4\mathrm{x}-1$ and R.H.S is $8$

Now substitute $\mathrm{x}=\frac{9}{5}$ in L.H.S. We get, $4\times \frac{9}{5}-1=\frac{36}{5}-1=\frac{36-5}{5}=\frac{31}{5}$

Which is not equal to the R.H.S.

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

Hence $\frac{9}{5}$ is not the solution of the equation $4\mathrm{x}-1=8$.

Therefore,the given statement is false.
