The original equation is ![\"\"](\"/test/fckeditor/editor/plugins/fckeditor_wiris/integration/showimage.php?formula=d74513eddf739fe60630b1dda6e90e64.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.
