Answer:

a) x=5/2 (or in decimal form 2.5)

b) k=-1/2 (or in decimal form -0.5)

c) x=3

Explanation:

a)

6-2x=4x-9

subtract 6 from both sides: 6-2x-6=4x-9-6

simplify: -2x=4x-15

subtract 4x from both sides: -2x-4x=4x-15-4x

simplify: -6x=-15

solve: x=-15/-16 (or further simplified x=5/2)

b)

10k+7=-3-10k

subtract 7 from both sides: 10k+7-7=-3-10k-7

simplfy: 10k=-10k-10

add 10k to both sides: 10k+10k=-10k-10+10k

simplify: 20k=-10

solve: k=-10/20 (or further simplified k=-1/2)

c)

4+3x=2x+7

subtract 4 from both sides: 4+3x-4=2x+7-4

simplify: 3x=2x+3

subtract 2x from both sides: 3x-2x=2x+3-2x

solve: x=3
