Q. Which equation has the solution x=7 ?7x+3=525x−7=686x+2=472x−4=−10
Substitute x=7: To find out which equation has the solution x=7, we need to substitute x=7 into each equation and see which one results in a true statement.Let's start with the first equation: 7x+3=52.Substitute x=7 into the equation: 7(7)+3=52.Calculate: 49+3=52.Check if the statement is true: 52=52.
Check first equation: Now let's check the second equation: 5x−7=68. Substitute x=7 into the equation: 5(7)−7=68. Calculate: 35−7=68. Check if the statement is true: 28=68. This equation does not have the solution x=7.
Check second equation: Next, let's check the third equation: 6x+2=47. Substitute x=7 into the equation: 6(7)+2=47. Calculate: 42+2=47. Check if the statement is true: 44=47. This equation does not have the solution x=7.
Check third equation: Finally, let's check the fourth equation: 2x−4=−10. Substitute x=7 into the equation: 2(7)−4=−10. Calculate: 14−4=−10. Check if the statement is true: 10=−10. This equation does not have the solution x=7.
