Best answer

(a) 3s = -9

The given equation is 3s = -9
Divide the equation by 3 both the sides

Substitute the value of s = -3 in the given equation
3s = -9
3(-3)=-9
-9 = -9
∴ LHS = RHS (verified)

(b) 3s + 12 = 0

The given equation is 3s + 12 = 0
subtract 12 from both the sides

3s + 12 - 12 = 0 - 12

3s = - 12

Divide by 3 both the sides

Substitute the value of s = -4 in the given equation
3s = 12 = 0
3(-4) = 12 = 0
-12 + 12 = 0
0 = 0
∴ LHS = RHS

(c) 3s = 0

The given equation is 3s = 0
Divide by 3 both the sides

\(\frac{3s}{3} = \frac{0}{3}\)

s = 0

Substitute the value of s = 0 in the given equation
3s = 0
3(0) = 0
0 = 0
∴ LHS = RHS (verified)

(d) 2q = 6

The given equation is 2q = 6
Divide the equation by 2 both the sides

\(\frac{2q}{2} = \frac{6}{2}\)

q = 3

substitute the value of q = 3 in the given equation
2q = 6
2(3) = 6 6 = 6
∴ LHS = RHS (verified)

(e) 2q – 6 = 0

The given equation is 2q – 6 = 0
Add 6 to both the sides

Substitute the value of q = 3 in the given equation
2q – 6 = 0
2(3) – 6 = 0
6 – 6 = 0
0 = 0
LHS = RHS (verified)

(f) 2q + 6 = 0

The given equation is 2q + 6 = 0
Subtract 6 from both the sides

2q - 6 + 6 = 0 - 6

2q = - 6

Divide by 2 both the sides by 2

Substitute the value of q = -3 in the given equation
2q + 6 = 0
2(-3) + 6 = 0
-6 + 6 = 0
0 = 0
∴ LHS = RHS (verified)

(g) 2q + 6 = 12

The given equation is 2q + 6 = 12
Subtract 6 from both the sides

2q - 6 + 6 = 12 - 6

2q = 6

Divide by 2 both the sides
