Answer:

A. x = -7, B. x = -8, C. x = 9, D. x = 2, E. x = -3

Explanation:

A. 4x= -28

Divide both sides by 4.


(4x)/(4\\)=
(-28)/(4). x= -7

B. x- -6= -2 -> x+6= -2

Subtraction 6 to both sides.

x- +6-6= -2-6, x= -8

C. -x+= -9 -> x= 9

D. -3x+7=1

Subtraction 7 to both sides.

-3x+7-7 =1-7 , -3x=-6

Divide both sides by -3.


(-3x)/(-3) =
(-6)/(-3), x= 2

E. 25x+-11= -86 -> 25x-11= -86

Add 11 to both sides.

25x-11+11= -86+11, 25x= -75

Divide both sides by 25.


(25x)/(25) =
(-75)/(25), x= -3

2. 2x+9= -15

Subtraction 9 to both sides.

2x+9-9= -15-9, 2x= -24

Divide both sides by 2.


(2x)/(2) =
(24)/(2) , x= 12

I don't think there's an answer.

I hope it helps you!
