Question

Using the digits 1 to 9 at most one time each place a digit in each box to create an equation where X is a negative value serve you equation to prove your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution set of equations assuming x as a negative value can go from:

x + 9 = 2, that gives us the least possible negative value of - 7 to:

x + 3 = 2, that gives us the highest negative value of - 1 to x

The only condition is that the second term of the equation should be a higher number than the result.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is a negative value, let's create the set of equations using digits from 1 to 9 one time, this way:

a. x + 9 = 2

x = 2 - 9

x = -7

b. x + 9 = 3

x = 3 - 9

x = - 6

c. x + 3 = 2

x = 2 - 3

x = -1

d. x + 4 = 2

x = 2 - 4

x = -2

e. x + 6 = 5

x = 5 - 6

x = -1

Answer 2

The correct question is:

Using the digits 1 to 9 at most one time each place a digit in each box to create an equation where x is a negative value solve your equation to prove your answer.

__x + __ = __

Answer:

1. 9x + 8 = 1

2. 7x + 6 = 2

3. 5x + 4 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 9x + 8 = 1

Subtract 8 from both sides

9x = 1 - 8

9x = -7

Divide both sides by 9

x = -7/9

2. 7x + 6 = 2

Subtract 6 from both sides

7x = 2 - 6

7x = -4

Divide both sides by 7

x = -4/7

3. 5x + 4 = 3

Subtract 4 from both sides

5x = 3 - 4

5x = -1

Divide both sides by 5

x = -1/5
