[tex]x + 21 = 5[/tex]
[tex]x = 5 - 21[/tex]
[tex]\color{hotpink}x = ( - 16)[/tex]
Let us check whether or not we have found out the correct value of x , by placing -16 in the place of x :-
[tex] - 16 + 21 = 5[/tex]
[tex] 5=5[/tex]
[tex]\color{hotpink}LHS = RHS [/tex]
As the left hand side of the equation is equivalent to the right hand side of the equation, we can conclude that we have found out the correct value of x .
Therefore , the value of :-
[tex]\color{hotpink}x \color{olive}=\color{hotpink} ( - 16)[/tex]
