which of the following four equations has tho solution of the lowest value? x - 6 = - 16, x + 25 = 2, x + 19 = - 5, x - 7 = 28

Answer 1

Let's solve each of the equations for \( x \):

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

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

Now, let's summarize the solutions:

• From the first equation: \( x = -10 \)
• From the second equation: \( x = -23 \)
• From the third equation: \( x = -24 \)
• From the fourth equation: \( x = 35 \)

Among \( -10, -23, -24, \) and \( 35 \), the solution with the lowest value is \( -24 \) from the equation \( x + 19 = -5 \).
