Which of the following four equations has the solution of the lowest value? (1 point)
Answer choices:
x+19=-5
x-6=-16
x+25=2
x-7=28
To find the solution with the lowest value, we need to solve each equation and compare the values of x.
First equation: x + 19 = -5
Subtract 19 from both sides:
x = -5 - 19
x = -24
Second equation: x - 6 = -16
Add 6 to both sides:
x = -16 + 6
x = -10
Third equation: x + 25 = 2
Subtract 25 from both sides:
x = 2 - 25
x = -23
Fourth equation: x - 7 = 28
Add 7 to both sides:
x = 28 + 7
x = 35
Comparing the values of x, we see that the lowest value is -24, which corresponds to the first equation: x + 19 = -5. So, the equation x + 19 = -5 has the solution of the lowest value.
