Question
Show that $x = -3$ is a solution of $x^2 + 6x + 9 = 0.$
✓
Answer
The given equation is $x^2 + 6x + 9 = 0$
If $x = -3$ is its solution then it will satisfy it.
L.H.S. $= (-3)^2 + 6(-3) + 9$
$= 9 - 18 + 9$
$= 18 - 18$
$= 0$
= R.H.S.
Hence $x = -3$ is its one root.
If $x = -3$ is its solution then it will satisfy it.
L.H.S. $= (-3)^2 + 6(-3) + 9$
$= 9 - 18 + 9$
$= 18 - 18$
$= 0$
= R.H.S.
Hence $x = -3$ is its one root.
