View full question & answer→$x = 4$ is the root of $3x - 5 = 7$
Now, substituting $x = 4$ in place of $‘x’$ in the given equation:
$3x - 5 = 7$
$3(4) - 5 = 7$
$12 - 5 = 7$
$7 = 7$
Since, $L.H.S. = R.H.S.$
Hence, $x = 4$ is the root of $3x - 5 = 7$
Now, substituting $x = 4$ in place of $‘x’$ in the given equation:
$3x - 5 = 7$
$3(4) - 5 = 7$
$12 - 5 = 7$
$7 = 7$
Since, $L.H.S. = R.H.S.$
Hence, $x = 4$ is the root of $3x - 5 = 7$
