Which of the following four equations has the solution of the lowest value?
x + 19 = -5
x - 7 = 28
x - 6 = -16
x + 25 = 2
To find the solution for each equation, we need to isolate x.
For the first equation, x + 19 = -5:
Subtracting 19 from both sides, we get: x = -5 - 19 = -24.
For the second equation, x - 7 = 28:
Adding 7 to both sides, we get: x = 28 + 7 = 35.
For the third equation, x - 6 = -16:
Adding 6 to both sides, we get: x = -16 + 6 = -10.
For the fourth equation, x + 25 = 2:
Subtracting 25 from both sides, we get: x = 2 - 25 = -23.
Out of these four solutions, the lowest value is x = -24, which is the solution to the first equation, x + 19 = -5.
