Q. Which equation has the solution x=7 ?5x+1=−366x+9=815x−2=304x+9=37
Identify Equation: We need to find which equation has x=7 as its solution. To do this, we will substitute x=7 into each equation and see which one holds true.
Check First Equation: Substitute x=7 into the first equation 5x+1=−36. 5(7)+1=−36 35+1=−36 36=−36 This is not true, so the first equation does not have x=7 as its solution.
Check Second Equation: Substitute x=7 into the second equation 6x+9=81. 6(7)+9=81 42+9=81 51=81 This is not true, so the second equation does not have x=7 as its solution.
Check Third Equation: Substitute x=7 into the third equation 5x−2=30.5(7)−2=3035−2=3033=30This is not true, so the third equation does not have x=7 as its solution.
Check Fourth Equation: Substitute x=7 into the fourth equation 4x+9=37. 4(7)+9=37 28+9=37 37=37 This is true, so the fourth equation has x=7 as its solution.
