Answer
View full question & answer→False.Solution:
2x + 5 = 8 ⇒ 2x + 5 - 5 = 8 - 5 [Subtracting 5 from both the sides] ⇒ 2x = 3 $\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{3}{2}$ and not $\text{x}=\frac{2}{3}$
2x + 5 = 8 ⇒ 2x + 5 - 5 = 8 - 5 [Subtracting 5 from both the sides] ⇒ 2x = 3 $\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{3}{2}$ and not $\text{x}=\frac{2}{3}$
