1) -4x = 24

x = -24/4

x = -6

2) 6 = x - 3

6 + 3 = x

9 = x

3) 5x - 5 = 20

5x = 20 + 5

5x = 25

x = 25/5

x = 5

4) x + 10 = 18

x = 18 - 10

x = 8

5) 6x = 12

x = 12/6

x = 2

6) - 1 + 5x = 49

5x = 49 + 1

5x = 50

x = 50/5

x = 10

7) 10 + 7x = 24

7x = 24 - 10

7x = 14

x = 14/7

x = 2

8) 3x - 1 - x = 15

3x - x = 15 + 1

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

9) 66 = 3x + 4x - 4

66 + 4 = 3x + 4x

70 = 7x

70/7 = x

10 = x

10) 6x + 5 - 4x = 21

6x - 4x = 21 - 5

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

11) -2 - 6x - 2x = 86

- 6x - 2x = 86 + 2

-8x = 88

x = -88/8

x = -11

12) -2x + 1 = -17

-2x = -17 + 1

-2x = -16

x = -16/-2

x = 16/2

x = 8
