Which of the following four equations has the solution of the lowest value?(1 point) Responses x − 6 = −16 x minus 6 equals negative 16 x + 19 = −5 x plus 19 equals negative 5 x − 7 = 28 x minus 7 equals 28 x + 25 = 2

1 answer

Let's solve each equation step by step to find the value of \( x \):

  1. Equation: \( x - 6 = -16 \) \[ x = -16 + 6 = -10 \]

  2. Equation: \( x + 19 = -5 \) \[ x = -5 - 19 = -24 \]

  3. Equation: \( x - 7 = 28 \) \[ x = 28 + 7 = 35 \]

  4. Equation: \( x + 25 = 2 \) \[ x = 2 - 25 = -23 \]

Now, we have the solutions:

  1. \( x = -10 \)
  2. \( x = -24 \)
  3. \( x = 35 \)
  4. \( x = -23 \)

The lowest value among the solutions is \( -24 \) from the equation \( x + 19 = -5 \).
