Question
Show that $x = -3$ is a solution of $x^2 + 6x + 9 = 0$.
✓

Answer

Given equation is $x^2 + 6x + 9 = 0$
Substituting $x = -3$ in L.H.S. of above equation, we get
L.H.S. $= (-3)^2 + 6 \times (-3) + 9$
$= 9 - 18 + 9$
$= 18 - 18$
$= 0$
= R.H.S.
Hence, $x = -3$ is a solution of the given equation.
