Question

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

x + 0.875 = 1.5
x plus 0.875 equals 1.5

x − 78 = −32
x minus Start Fraction 7 over 8 End Fraction equals negative Start Fraction 3 over 2 End Fraction

x − 0.025 = 0.6
x minus 0.025 equals 0.6

x + 98 = 74

Answer 1

Solve each:

- x + 0.875 = 1.5 → x = 1.5 − 0.875 = 0.625 (5/8)
- x − 7/8 = −3/2 → x = −3/2 + 7/8 = −5/8 = −0.625
- x − 0.025 = 0.6 → x = 0.6 + 0.025 = 0.625 (5/8)
- x + 98 = 74 → x = 74 − 98 = −24

The equation x + 98 = 74 is different (x = −24), whereas the first and third give x = 0.625 (and the second gives −0.625).
