which of the following has a different value for x than the others
x + 9/8 = 7/4
x - 0.025 = 0.6
x + 0.0875 = 1.5
x - 7/8 = -3/2
To find the value of x for each equation, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
1) x + 9/8 = 7/4
First, subtract 9/8 from both sides:
x = 7/4 - 9/8
To simplify, find a common denominator of 8:
x = 14/8 - 9/8
x = 5/8
2) x - 0.025 = 0.6
First, add 0.025 to both sides:
x = 0.6 + 0.025
x = 0.625
3) x + 0.0875 = 1.5
First, subtract 0.0875 from both sides:
x = 1.5 - 0.0875
x = 1.4125
4) x - 7/8 = -3/2
First, add 7/8 to both sides:
x = -3/2 + 7/8
To find a common denominator, multiply the fractions:
x = -12/8 + 7/8
x = -5/8
Therefore, the equation that has a different value for x than the others is x = 0.625.
That isn't one, I'm counfusificated
Apologies for the confusion. Let's go through each equation again:
1) x + 9/8 = 7/4
To simplify, find a common denominator of 8:
x = 7/4 - 9/8
x = 14/8 - 9/8
x = 5/8
2) x - 0.025 = 0.6
To simplify, add 0.025 to both sides:
x = 0.6 + 0.025
x = 0.625
3) x + 0.0875 = 1.5
To simplify, subtract 0.0875 from both sides:
x = 1.5 - 0.0875
x = 1.4125
4) x - 7/8 = -3/2
To simplify, add 7/8 to both sides:
x = -3/2 + 7/8
To find a common denominator, multiply the fractions:
x = -12/8 + 7/8
x = -5/8
After rechecking the calculations, it appears that all the equations have different values for x. I apologize for the earlier mistake.
