Question

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

x + 98 = 74
x plus Start Fraction 9 over 8 End Fraction equals Start Fraction 7 over 4 End Fraction

x − 0.025 = 0.6
x minus 0.025 equals 0.6

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

x + 0.875 = 1.5
x plus 0.875 equals 1.5

Answer 1

x − 7/8 = −3/2

Work:
- x + 9/8 = 7/4 → x = 7/4 − 9/8 = 5/8
- x − 0.025 = 0.6 → x = 0.625 = 5/8
- 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

Three give x = 5/8, but x − 7/8 = −3/2 gives x = −5/8, so it’s the different one.
