Iss = 3a solution to this equation? 2 s=5 Choices: (A)yes (B)no

Substitute and Solve: We are given that s = 3. Let's substitute the value for s in the equation 2s = 5. 2s = 5 Substitute s with 3. 2 × 3 = 5Calculate Result: Calculate what is 2 multiplied by 3. 2 × 3 = 6Evaluate Equation: The equation 2s = 5 now becomes 6 = 5 after substituting s = 3. Compare the values on both sides of the equation. Is s = 3 a solution to the equation 2s = 5? After substituting s = 3, we see that both sides of the equation are not equal: 6 ≠ 5 Thus, s = 3 is not a solution to the equation 2s = 5.

Q. Is

s = 3

a solution to this equation?

\newline

2s = 5

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A) yes

\newline

(B) no

Substitute and Solve: We are given that $s = 3$ . Let's substitute the value for $s$ in the equation $2s = 5$ . $\newline$ $2s = 5$ $\newline$ Substitute $s$ with $3$ . $\newline$ $2 \times 3 = 5$
Calculate Result: Calculate what is $2$ multiplied by $3$ . $\newline$ $2 \times 3 = 6$
Evaluate Equation: The equation $2s = 5$ now becomes $6 = 5$ after substituting $s = 3$ . Compare the values on both sides of the equation. Is $s = 3$ a solution to the equation $2s = 5$ ? After substituting $s = 3$ , we see that both sides of the equation are not equal: $6 \neq 5$ Thus, $s = 3$ is not a solution to the equation $2s = 5$ .
