Answer:

a) 24

b) 63

c) 2

d) -2

Explanation:

you are supposed to try different numbers, but...

X-9 = 15 add 9 to both sides

X = 24

7x/9 = 49 multiply both sides by 9

7x = 441 divide by 7

x = 63

3(x + 6) = 24 divide both sides by 3

(x + 6) = 8 subtract 6 from both sides

X = 2

11x + 2 = -20 subtract 2 from both sides

11x = -22 divide both sides by 11

X = -2
