Which of the following equations has x = 2 as a solution?
Given x = 2
Putting this value in each of the options, we check where LHS = RHS
A. x + 2 = 5
LHS = x +2 = 2 +2 =4
RHS = 5
LHS ≠RHS
B. x - 2 = 0
LHS = x - 2 = 2 - 2 = 0
RHS = 0
LHS = RHS
C. 2x + 1 = 0
LHS = 2x +1 = 2× 2 + 1=4 + 1 =5
RHS = 0
LHS ≠RHS
D. x + 3 = 6
LHS = x +3 = 2 +3 = 5
RHS = 6
LHS ≠RHS
Hence, x =2 is the solution of x-2 =0.
