page.
a.
x=3 = 12
b.
2x + 3 = 20
4
10
C.
d.
- 4x = -24
e.
2(x – 4) = 10
-0.5x + 1.1 = -2.9
f.

Answer 1

A.) x / 3 = 12 ----> x = 12(3) ----> x = 36

B.) 2x + 3 = 20 ----> 2x = 17 ----> x = 17/2

C.) 4/3x = 10/3 ----> x = 10/3 x 3/4 ----> x = 30/12 = 5/2

D.) -4x = -24 ----> x = -24/-4 ----> x = 6

E.) 2(x-4) = 10 ----> 2x - 8 = 10 ----> 2x = 18 ----> x = 9

F.) -0.5x + 1.1 = -2.9 ----> -0.5x = -4 ---> x = -4 / -0.5 ----> x = 8
