Final answer:

The provided question is incomplete as it does not include the algebraic equations. The answer outlines a strategy used to solve algebraic equations when they are provided but cannot complete the specific task without the full context of the equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as the algebraic equations are not provided. Without the complete equations, we cannot determine the value(s) for the variable that would make each algebraic equation a true number sentence. However, we can discuss a strategy for solving such problems when the equations are available:

  1. Identify the knowns and the values given in the problem.
  2. Identify the unknown, which is the value of the variable that we need to solve for.
  3. Choose the appropriate equation that involves the knowns and the unknown.
  4. Solve the equation by applying algebraic techniques, such as isolating the variable.
  5. Eliminate terms wherever possible to simplify the algebra.

Finally, check the answer to see if it is reasonable by substituting it back into the original equation.

If a specific equation – like x² + 1.2 x 10^-2x - 6.0 × 10^-3 = 0 – is provided, you may use the quadratic formula, which has the form ax² + bx + c = 0, to find the variable's value. Remember to simplify and check once you've obtained a solution.
