Answer:
1.7x-2=8+2x
Step-by-step explanation:
collect like terms
7x-2x=8+2
5x=10
divide 5 both sides to get the value of x
5x/5=10/5
x=2
Answer:
1. x = 2
2. a = 2
4. a = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 7x - 2 = 8 + 2x
7x - 2x = 8 + 2
5x = 10
x = 2.
2. 4 ( 3a + 1 ) = 3a + 22
12a + 4 = 3a + 22
12a - 3a = 22 - 4
9a = 18
a = 2.
4. a - 3(2a) = -25
a - 6a = -25
-5a = -25
a = 5.
