Q40 of 113 Page 110

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

In the equation 3x-3 = 9, transposing -3 to RHS, we get 3x = 9.

False

given equation is,


⇒ 3x-3 = 9


⇒ Transposing – 3 to RHS


⇒ 3x = 9 + 3


⇒ 3x = 12


⇒ x = 4


⇒ We get 3x = 12 on transposing – 3 to RHS.


⇒ Hence, it is not true.
