Q39 of 113 Page 110

State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

Two different equations can never have the same answer.

False

let us assume two different equation and verify,


⇒ 6x + 6 = 12 ----(i)


⇒ 6x = 12-6


⇒ 6x = 6


⇒ x = 1


⇒ 6x-30 = -24 ----(ii)


⇒ 6x = -24 + 30


⇒ 6x = 6


⇒ x = 1


⇒ Thus we can see that two different equation can have same answer.


⇒ Hence, it is not true.
