Which of the following four equations has the solution of the lowest value? (1 point)

Question

Answer choices:

x+19=-5

x-6=-16

x+25=2

x-7=28

Answer 1

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.
