Part 1 :
x-(12-x)=38


x-12+x=38
\ Simplify \ brackets


2x-12=38


2x=38+12
\ Add \ 12 \ to\ both \ sides


2x=50


2x / 2=50 / 2
\ Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 2


x=25

Part 2 :
(z)/(6) = (7)/(8)+ (5)/(8)
\ Add \ 5/8 \ to \ both \ sides


(z)/(6) = (3)/(2)


z= (3)/(2) *6
\ Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 6


z=18/2


z=9

Part 3:
3b-(6-b)=-22


3b-6+b=-22
\ Simplify \ brackets


3b+b=-22+6
\ Add \ 6 \ to \ both \ sides


4b=-16


4b/4=-16/4
\ Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 4


b=-4


7b=-28

#5. distribute negative sign: x-12+x=38, add 12 to both sides: 2x=50, divide by 2: x=25
#6. add 5/8 to both sides: z/6=12/8, multiply 6 on both sides: z=9
#7. distribute negative sign: 3b-6+b=-22, add 6 to both sides: 4b=-16, divide by 4: b=-4. 7b=-28
