Using the digits 1 to 9 at most one time each place a digit in each box to create an equation where X is a negative value serve you equation to prove your answer

The solution set of equations assuming x as a negative value can go from:

x + 9 = 2, that gives us the least possible negative value of - 7 to:

x + 3 = 2, that gives us the highest negative value of - 1 to x

The only condition is that the second term of the equation should be a higher number than the result.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is a negative value, let's create the set of equations using digits from 1 to 9 one time, this way:

a. x + 9 = 2

x = 2 - 9

x = -7

b. x + 9 = 3

x = 3 - 9

x = - 6

c. x + 3 = 2

x = 2 - 3

x = -1

d. x + 4 = 2

x = 2 - 4

x = -2

e. x + 6 = 5

x = 5 - 6

x = -1

step-by-step explanation:

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
