@cryptoaops: I'm pretty sure they are. To the first question:
add 21 to both sides and divide both sides by -4 to get x=-5
To the second question: subtract 12 on both sides and multiply both sides by 3 to get m=18
To the third question: distribute and subtract 10 on both sides and divide both sides by -12 to get z=-4
To the last question: combine like terms and add the numbers and add 5 to both sides and divide both sides by 7 to get a=5
