Question
Solve the following equation by trial and error method:
$11 + x = 19$

Answer

The given equation is $11 + x = 19$
We try several values of $x$ and find $L.H.S.$ and the $R.H.S.$ and stop when $L.H.S. = R.H.S$.
x L.H.S. R.H.S.
$3$ $11 + 3 = 14$ $19$
$4$ $11 + 4 = 15$ $19$
$6$ $11 + 6 = 17$ $19$
$7$ $11 + 7 = 18$ $19$
$8$ $11 + 8 = 9$ $19$
When $x = 8$, we have $L.H.S. = R.H.S.$
So $x = 8$ is the solution of the given equation.
