Question
Solve the following equation and verify the answer: $x + 5 = 12$
✓
Answer
$x + 5 = 12$
Subtracting $5$ from both the sides:
$\Rightarrow x + 5 - 5 = 12 - 5 $
$\Rightarrow x = 7$
Verification: Substituting $x = 7$ in the $L.H.S. $
$\Rightarrow 7 + 5 = 12 = R.H.S. $
$L.H.S. = R.H.S.$
Hence, verified.
