A) 7(x-2)-3(x+3)=5(x-3)=x
B) 9-6(x-1)=2(x-4)+27
C) 5x+12=87
D) 3 fourths x -5=4
E) - fraction 5 over 2 x divided by 6=1
F) 6x+3=-1
Hello kminery62. The way you worded some of the problems was confusing, but I tried my best.
For question B:
9 - 6(x - 1) = 2(x - 4) + 27
9 - 6x + 6 = 2x - 8 +27 Distribute.
-8x = 4 Move similar terms to the same side.
x = -2 Divide.
For question C:
5x + 12 = 87
5x = 75 Subtract.
x = 15 Divide.
For question D:
(3/4)x - 5 = 4
(3/4)x = 9 Add.
(1/4)x = 3 Divide.
x = 12 Multiply.
For question E:
(-5/2)x / 6 = 1
(-5/2)x = 6 Multiply.
(1/2)x = -6/5 Divide.
x = -12/5 Multiply.
x = -2 1/5 Simplify.
For question F:
6x + 3 = -1
6x = -4 Subtract.
x = -4/6 Divide.
x = -2/3 Simplify.
