Question

In the following activity, write an equation to represent each verbal statement, and use it to find the value of each unknown number. Then, put the solution values in order from smallest to largest. [Note: The smallest solution is "first", and the largest solution is "fifth".]

Answer 1

The solution values in order from smallest to largest are;

• -13 - First
• -10 - Second
• -3.5 - Third
• -2 - Fourth
• -0.75 - Fifth

Unknown equation

let

• the unknown number = x

(x - 5)-2 = 14

-2x + 10 = 14

-2x = 14 - 10

-2x = 4

x = 4/-2

x = -2

4x - 5 = -8

4x = -8 + 5

4x = -3

x = -3/4

x = -0.75

(x + 3) / 5 = -2

x + 3 = -2(5)

x + 3 = -10

x = -10 - 3

x = -13

1/2x + 4 = -1

1/2x = -1 - 4

1/2x = -5

x = -5 ÷ 1/2

= -5×2/1

x = -10

x + 2 = 6/-4

-4(x + 2) = 6

-4x - 8 = 6

-4x = 6 + 8

-4x = 14

x = 14/-4

x = -3.5

Therefore, the smallest value is -13 and the largest value is -0.75.
