Answer :-

• By trial and error method, the value of x is 8.

Given :-

• x - 5 = 3.

To find :-

• The solution of this EQUATION by trial and error method.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• We are asked to find the value of x by trial and error method, so we will try all the values one by one (starting from 1)

----------------------------------

TRYING with 1 :-

RHS

Substituting 1 in the place of x,

Subtracting 5 from 1,

RHS

LHS ≠ RHS

Therefore, 1 is not the solution of the given equation.

----------------------------------

Trying with 2 :-

LHS

Substituting 2 in the place of x,

Subtracting 5 from 2,

RHS

LHS ≠ RHS

Therefore, 2 is not the solution of the given equation.

----------------------------------

Trying with 3 :-

LHS

Substituting 3 in the place of x,

Subtracting 5 from 3,

RHS

LHS ≠ RHS

Therefore, 3 is not the solution of the given equation.

----------------------------------

Trying with 4 :-

LHS

Substituting 4 in the place of x,

Subtracting 5 from 4,

RHS

LHS ≠ RHS

Therefore, 4 is not the solution of the given equation.

----------------------------------

Trying with 5 :-

LHS

Substituting 5 in the place of x,

Subtracting 5 from 5,

RHS

LHS ≠ RHS

Therefore, 5 is not the solution of the given equation.

----------------------------------

Trying with 6 :-

LHS

Substituting 6 in the place of x,

Subtracting 5 from 6,

RHS

LHS ≠ RHS

Therefore, 6 is not the solution of the given equation.

----------------------------------

Trying with 7 :-

LHS

Substituting 7 in the place of x,

Subtracting 5 from 7,

RHS

LHS ≠ RHS

Therefore, 7 is not the solution of the given equation.

----------------------------------

Trying with 8 :-

LHS

Substituting 8 in the place of x,

Subtracting 5 from 8,

RHS

LHS = RHS

• Therefore, 8 is the solution of the given equation.
