Question

Which of the following equations has $x=2$ as a solution?

• A. $x+2=5$
• B. $x-2=0$
• C. $2x+1=0$
• D. $x+3=6$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $x-2=0$

A)Putting $x=2$ in $x+2$, we get 4$\ne 5$

B) Putting $x=2$ in $x-2$, we get 0$=0$

C)Putting $x=2$ in $2x+1$, we get $5\ne 0$

D)Putting $x=2$ in $x+3$, we get $5\ne 6$

$\therefore$ Option B is the correct answer which has $x=2$ as a solution
