The answer is false
Have a good day <3
Answer: False
=============================================================
Explanation:
To see if the x value is a solution or not, we plug it into the equation given
2x+7 = 30 …. original equation
2*3 + 7 = 30 …. replace every x with 3, since we claim that x = 3
6 + 7 = 30 …. multiply 2 and 3 to get 6
13 = 30 …… add 6 and 7 to get 13
We get two different numbers on either side, so the last equation is not true. We get a contradiction or false statement. So the original equation is false when x = 3. Therefore, x = 3 is not the solution.
That’s why the overall claim is false.
