Which of the following equations has a different value of x than the others?
A. x + 9/8 = 7/4
B. x - 7/8 = -3/2
C. x - 0.025 = 0.6
D. x + 0.875 = 1.5
To find the value of x for each equation, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
A. x + 9/8 = 7/4
We can subtract 9/8 from both sides to isolate x:
x = 7/4 - 9/8
x = 14/8 - 9/8
x = 5/8
B. x - 7/8 = -3/2
We can add 7/8 to both sides to isolate x:
x = -3/2 + 7/8
x = -6/4 + 7/8
x = 1/4
C. x - 0.025 = 0.6
We can add 0.025 to both sides to isolate x:
x = 0.6 + 0.025
x = 0.625
D. x + 0.875 = 1.5
We can subtract 0.875 from both sides to isolate x:
x = 1.5 - 0.875
x = 0.625 (same value of x as in equation C)
Comparing the values of x for each equation, we can see that equation C (x - 0.025 = 0.6) has a different value of x than the others. Therefore, the answer is C.
