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