Answer:
Option (1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation is,
To determine the solution of the equation we will substitute the values of 'x' given in the options,
Option (1)
For x = -0.75
0.59 = 1 - 0.44
0.59 = 0.56
Since, values on both the sides are approximately same.
Therefore, x = -0.75 will be the answer.
Option (2)
For x = -1.25
0.42 = 1 - 0.25
0.42 = 0.75
Which is not true.
Therefore, x = -1.25 is not the answer.
Option (3)
For x = 0.75
1.68 = 1 - 2.28
1.68 = -1.28
Which is not true.
Therefore, x = 0.75 is not the answer.
Option (4)
For x = 1.25
2.38 = 1 - 3.95
2.38 = -2.95
It's not true.
Therefore, x = 1.25 is not the answer.
