2x + 8 - 3x = -4

3(2x - 7) - 5x - 2x = 17

8(x + 6) + 34 = 7

1.5(w+2) = 3

I will do ONE for you...they are all similar....

3(2x-7) - 5x - 2x = 17        Use distibutive law to expand

6x - 21 - 5x - 2x = 17         Collect 'like' terms

(6x-5x-2x) - 21 = 17          Simplify

-x - 21 = 17                        Add 21 to both sides

-x = 38                                 Multiply both sides by -1

x = -38
