Question

Which of these equations has the biggest solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1/6

x = 4

x = 4 1/2

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

I’ll explain them one by one

A. 4 = 24x

Divide both sides by 24 to gets x

4/24 = 24x/24

1/6 = x

x = 1/6

B. x + 3 = 7

Subtract 3 from both sides to eliminate 3 on the left

x + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3

x = 4

C. 2x - 1 = 8

Add 1 to both sides to eliminate -1 on the left side

2x - 1 + 1 = 8 + 1

2x = 9

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

2x/2 = 9/2

x = 4 1/2

D. 8 - x = 13

Add x to both sides

8 + x - x = 13 + x

8 = 13 + x

Subtract 13 from both sides to eliminate 13 on the right

8 - 13 = 13 - 13 + x

-5 = x

x = -5

Answer 2

C has the biggest solution, which is 4.5.
A and D have both negative number solutions and B has a solution of x=4.
