10. Which of the following equations has a solution different from the rest?
A. 16x =64
B.-12x= 48
C. x/4 = -1
D. x/-2 = 2
B. -12x = 48
show work
To find the solution for each equation, we will isolate the variable x in each equation:
A. 16x = 64
Dividing both sides by 16: x = 4
B. -12x = 48
Dividing both sides by -12: x = -4
C. x/4 = -1
Multiplying both sides by 4: x = -4
D. x/-2 = 2
Multiplying both sides by -2: x = -4
After solving each equation, we find that all the equations have the same solution, x = -4, except for option B (-12x = 48). Therefore, the equation with a different solution is B. -12x = 48.
