Question

Using the digits 0 to 9 at most one time each,fill in the boxes below to write equations whose solution is -1/2

_X + _ = _X + _

Answer 1

The equations whose solutions are -1/2 are:

1. 4x + 1 = 6x + 2

2. 3x + 7 = 5x + 8

Explanation:

Using the digits 0 to 9 at most one time each, the equations whose solutions are -1/2 are:

1. 4x + 1 = 6x + 2

-2x = 1

x = -1/2

2. 3x + 7 = 5x + 8

-2x = 1

x = -1/2
