The original equation is ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=845704d7c0f02f0e01ba984ccc116b26.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.
