8. Eleven less than five times a number is 19.
9. Thirteen more than four times a number is -91.
10. Seven less than twice a number is 43.

Answer 1

1. x/9+10=11 (x=89)

2. 3x-5=-2 (x=1)

3. 2x+15=-23 (x=19)

4. 5x-4=16 (x=4)

5. -8x+9=-7 (x=2)

6. 10x-12=-28 (x=1.6)

7. 3x+7=52 (x=15)

8. 5x-11=19 (x=6)

9. 4x+13=-91 (x=-26)

10. 2x-7=43 (x=-19)
