Question

Solve the two step equations

1. -3x - 4 = 23
2. x/2 - 12 = -4
3. 6a + ( -1) = 10
4. - ( x + 2 ) = 12
5. 7a + 12 = 10
6. -4 ( a + 2 ) = 12

Answer 1

Hello!

1) -3x - 4 = 23

-3x = 23 + 4

-3x = 27

x = 27 : (-3)

x = -9

2) x/2 - 12 = -4

x - 24 = -8

x = -8 + 24

x = 16

3) 6a + (-1) = 10

6a - 1 = 10

6a = 10 + 1

6a = 11

a = 11 : 6

a = 11/6

4) -(x + 2) = 12

x + 2 = -12

x = -12 - 2

x = -14

5) 7a + 12 = 10

7a = 10 - 12

7a = -2

a = -2 : 7

a = -2/7

6) -4(a + 2) = 12

a + 2 = -3

a = -3 - 2

a = -5

Good luck! :)
