Question
Solve the following equation and verify the answer: $x - 2 = -5$
✓
Answer
$x - 2 = -5$ Adding $2$ on both the sides:
$\Rightarrow x - 2 + 2 = -5 + 2 $
$\Rightarrow x = -3$
Verification: Substituting $x = -3$ in the $L.H.S. $
$\Rightarrow -3 - 2 = -5 = R.H.S. $
$L.H.S. = R.H.S.$
Hence, verified.
$\Rightarrow x - 2 + 2 = -5 + 2 $
$\Rightarrow x = -3$
Verification: Substituting $x = -3$ in the $L.H.S. $
$\Rightarrow -3 - 2 = -5 = R.H.S. $
$L.H.S. = R.H.S.$
Hence, verified.

$\begin{array}{l}\text {[HINT: } \angle XOY =\angle XOA +\angle A O Y \\ \angle A O B=\angle B O Y+\angle A O Y \\ \therefore \angle XOY -\angle A O B=[\angle X O A+\angle A O Y]-[\angle B O Y+\angle A O Y]\\ =\angle X O A-\angle B O Y\end{array}$
We observe that $\angle X O A>\angle B O Y$
