Question

Verify:
$\frac{1}{2} x - 1 = \frac{1}{2} (x - 2)$

Open in App

Solution

Now,
$\frac{1}{2} x - 1$
$= \frac{1}{2} (x - 2)$ .
Let us verify the equality using values of $x$ .
Let $x = 1$ .
Then
RHS $= \frac{1}{2} .1 - 1 = - \frac{1}{2}$ .
And,
LHS $= \frac{1}{2} (1 - 2) = - \frac{1}{2}$ .
So,
RHS=LHS.
Hence verified.
