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

Question

Responses

x − 7 = 28
x minus 7 equals 28

x + 25 = 2
x plus 25 equals 2

x + 19 = −5
x plus 19 equals negative 5

x − 6 = −16

Answer 1

Let's solve each equation to find the value of \( x \).

1. For the equation \( x - 7 = 28 \): \[ x = 28 + 7 = 35 \]

2. For the equation \( x + 25 = 2 \): \[ x = 2 - 25 = -23 \]

3. For the equation \( x + 19 = -5 \): \[ x = -5 - 19 = -24 \]

4. For the equation \( x - 6 = -16 \): \[ x = -16 + 6 = -10 \]

Now, let's compare the solutions:

• First equation: \( x = 35 \)
• Second equation: \( x = -23 \)
• Third equation: \( x = -24 \)
• Fourth equation: \( x = -10 \)

The lowest value is \( -24 \), which corresponds to the equation \( x + 19 = -5 \).
