Question

Which of the following equations has a different value of x than the others?(1 point)

x − 0.025 = 0.6

x + 9/8 = 7/4

x − 7/8 = −3/2

x + 0.875 = 1.5

Answer 1

To find the equation that has a different value of x than the others, we need to solve each equation and compare the values of x.

1) x - 0.025 = 0.6
Adding 0.025 to both sides:
x = 0.625

2) x + 9/8 = 7/4
Subtracting 9/8 from both sides:
x = 7/4 - 9/8
x = 14/8 - 9/8
x = 5/8

3) x - 7/8 = -3/2
Adding 7/8 to both sides:
x = -3/2 + 7/8
x = -12/8 + 7/8
x = -5/8

4) x + 0.875 = 1.5
Subtracting 0.875 from both sides:
x = 1.5 - 0.875
x = 0.625

Comparing the values of x for each equation, we can see that equation 4) has the same value of x as equation 1), so it is different from the others.

The equation that has a different value of x than the others is:
x + 0.875 = 1.5
