a)
3000x - 2000 = 10 000
Add 2000 to both-side of the equation
3000x - 2000 + 2000 = 10 000 + 2000
3000x = 12000
Divide both-side of the equation by 3000
3000x/3000 = 12000/3000
x = 4
b) -2x/3

Multiply through the equation by 21


-14x - 3x = 357
-17x = 357
Divide both-side of the equation by -17
x = -21
c)

Add 1/3 to both-side of the equation



cross-multiply
15x = 80
Divide both-side of the equation by 15
x= 5.33
d)

multiply through the equation by 10

3 + 2(2x) = 5
3 + 4x = 5
subtract 3 from both-si
