Given:

Is x = 0.5 a solution of


3x+5=6(1)/(3)

To find:

Yes or no.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting the value x = 0.5 on the left-hand side of the equation,


\begin{gathered} 3(0.5)+5=1.5+5 \\ =6.5 \\ =6(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

So,


6(1)/(2)\\e6(1)/(3)

Since it doesn't satisfy the equation.

So, x = 0.5 is not a solution.
