Which of the following four equations has the solution of the lowest value?
PICK ONE OF THESE ANSWERS
A. x + 19= -5
B. x - 6 = -16
C. x + 25= 2
D. x-7=28
To find the solution with the lowest value, we need to solve each equation and compare the results.
A. x + 19 = -5
Subtracting 19 from both sides, -5 - 19 = x, -24 = x
B. x - 6 = -16
Adding 6 to both sides, -16 + 6 = x, -10 = x
C. x + 25 = 2
Subtracting 25 from both sides, 2 - 25 = x, -23 = x
D. x - 7 = 28
Adding 7 to both sides, 28 + 7 = x, 35 = x
Comparing the solutions, we can see that the equation with the lowest solution value is B. x - 6 = -16, where x = -10.
