Which of the following four equations has the solution of the lowest value? (1 point
x + 19 = - 5
x + 25 = 2
x - 6 = - 16
x - 7 = 28
To find the solution of each equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
1) x + 19 = -5
Subtracting 19 from both sides:
x = -5 - 19
x = -24
2) x + 25 = 2
Subtracting 25 from both sides:
x = 2 - 25
x = -23
3) x - 6 = -16
Adding 6 to both sides:
x = -16 + 6
x = -10
4) x - 7 = 28
Adding 7 to both sides:
x = 28 + 7
x = 35
Out of the four equations, the solution with the lowest value is x = -24.
