Question
x - 3 = 5
✓
Answer
x - 3 = 5
Adding 3 to both sides, we get
x - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3
x = 8
Verification:
Substituting x = 8 in L.H.S., we get
L.H.S. = x - 3 and R.H.S. = 5
L.H.S. = 8 - 3 = 5 and R.H.S. = 5
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, verified.
Adding 3 to both sides, we get
x - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3
x = 8
Verification:
Substituting x = 8 in L.H.S., we get
L.H.S. = x - 3 and R.H.S. = 5
L.H.S. = 8 - 3 = 5 and R.H.S. = 5
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, verified.
