Question
Check whether the value given in the bracket is a solution to the given equation or not.
$4p – 3 = 13 (p = –4)$
$4p – 3 = 13 (p = –4)$
✓
Answer
$4p – 3 = 13 (p = –4)$
$L.H.S. = 4p – 3$
$= 4 (–4) –3 . . . . $[When $p = –4]$
$= –16 – 3$
$= –19$
$R.H.S. = 13$
$\because L.H.S. \neq R.H.S.$
$\therefore P = – 4$ is not a solution to the given equation $4p – 3 = 13$
$L.H.S. = 4p – 3$
$= 4 (–4) –3 . . . . $[When $p = –4]$
$= –16 – 3$
$= –19$
$R.H.S. = 13$
$\because L.H.S. \neq R.H.S.$
$\therefore P = – 4$ is not a solution to the given equation $4p – 3 = 13$
