The original equation is ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=96a20fd98b8faab0f508b9021825a07f.png\")
and value of x is 3.
To check the solution of the equation, substitute the value of x=3 in the original equation.

.
The above statement is false, so x=3 is not a solution of the original equation.
