To verify: The statement “
Explanation of Solution
Procedure used:
Procedure to verify that an equation is true:
“Step 1: Find the value of the expression on each side of the equal sign.
Step 2: Compare the value for each side. (a) If the values for each side are equal, the equation is true. (b) If the values for each side are not equal, the equation is not true”.
Calculation:
The given equation is,
Step 1:
From the given equation, it is observed that the left hand side of the equation is,
Consider the left hand side of the equation
The value of the expression
Consider the right hand side of the equation
The value of the expression
Step 2:
By the above procedure, compare both sides of the equation as follows.
Here, the left hand side of the equation is, 12 and right hand side of the equation is 12.
Thus, both sides of the equation are equal.
Hence, the given statement “
