Chapter 4, Problem 23SGR

To determine

To solve and check: the given equation

Answer to Problem 23SGR

The solution of the given equation is $x=6$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $x+4=10$

Calculation:

  $x+4=10$

Making like terms together,

  $\begin{array}{l}x=10-4\\ x=6\end{array}$

To check the solution, put the value of x in the given equation.

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{L}\text{.H}\text{.S}.=x+4\\ =6+4\text{Putting}x=6\\ =10\\ =\text{R}\text{.H}\text{.S}\text{.}\end{array}$

Hence, the solution of the given equation is $x=6$ .

Conclusion:

Hence, the solution of the given equation is $x=6$ .
