Question
$x = 5$ is the solution of the equation $3x + 2 = 20$
✓
Answer
Given equation is $3x + 2 = 20$
$\Rightarrow 3x = 20 - 2$ [transposing $+2$ to $RHS]$
$\Rightarrow 3x = 18$
$\Rightarrow\frac{3\text{x}}{3}=\frac{18}{3}$ [dividing both sides by $3]$
$\Rightarrow x = 6$
So, the solution of the given equation is $x = 6$.
But according to question, $x = 5$ is the solution of the given equation.
So, the statement is false.
