Question

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

Answer 1

To find the solution of the lowest value among the four equations, we need to solve each equation for \( x \).

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

2. **Equation 2:** \( x - 7 = 28 \)
\[
x = 28 + 7 = 35
\]

3. **Equation 3:** \( x + 19 = -5 \)
\[
x = -5 - 19 = -24
\]

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

Now, let's compare the solutions:
- From Equation 1: \( x = -10 \)
- From Equation 2: \( x = 35 \)
- From Equation 3: \( x = -24 \)
- From Equation 4: \( x = -23 \)

The solution with the lowest value is from Equation 3, which gives \( x = -24 \). Therefore, the equation with the solution of the lowest value is:

**Answer:** Equation 3: \( x + 19 = -5 \) (solution is \( x = -24 \))
