Problem 3
Solve each equation.
1. 2(x – 3) = 14
2. -5(x - 1) = 40
3. 12(x + 10) = 24
4. 2(x + 6) = 11
5. 5/7(x – 9) = 25

Problem 1

Simplify both sides of the equation

Add 6 to both sides

Divide both sides by 2

----------------------------------------------------------------

Problem 2

Simplify both sides of the equation

Subtract 5 from both sides

Divide both sides by -5

----------------------------------------------------------------

Problem 3

Simplify both sides of the equation

Subtract 120 from both sides

Divide both sides by 12

----------------------------------------------------------------

Problem 4

Move all terms to the left:

Multiply parentheses

Add all the numbers together, and all the variables

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
