Which of the following four equations has the solution of the lowest value?(1 point)
Responses
x + 25 = 2
x − 6 = −16
x + 19 = −5
x − 7 = 28
To find the solution with the lowest value, we need to solve each equation and compare the resulting values of x.
1) x + 25 = 2
Subtracting 25 from both sides, we get x = -23.
2) x - 6 = -16
Adding 6 to both sides, we get x = -10.
3) x + 19 = -5
Subtracting 19 from both sides, we get x = -24.
4) x - 7 = 28
Adding 7 to both sides, we get x = 35.
Comparing the values of x, we see that the equation with the lowest solution is x = -24 from equation 3) x + 19 = -5.
