To find the equation that has a solution of -7, we substitute -7 for x in each equation and see which one satisfies the equation.
For the first equation, when we substitute -7 for x, we get:
5(-7) + 11 = -24
-35 + 11 = -24
-24 = -24
The equation is satisfied when x = -7.
For the second equation, when we substitute -7 for x, we get:
4(-7) - 23 = 5
-28 - 23 = 5
-51 = 5
The equation is not satisfied when x = -7.
For the third equation, when we substitute -7 for x, we get:
-(-7) + 3 = -4
7 + 3 = -4
10 = -4
The equation is not satisfied when x = -7.
For the fourth equation, when we substitute -7 for x, we get:
-3(-7) - 8 = -29
21 - 8 = -29
13 = -29
The equation is not satisfied when x = -7.
Therefore, the first equation, 5x + 11 = -24, has a solution of -7.
Which of the following equations has a solution of -7? (1 point)
5x + 11 = -24
4x - 23 = 5
-x + 3 = -4
-3x - 8 = -29
