Question 1
Solve 3x + 4 = 19.
Show answer
Answer: 5
Subtract 4 from both sides: 3x = 15. Divide by 3: x = 5. Check: 3(5)+4 = 15+4 = 19.
-
Question 2
Solve 2(x - 3) = 8.
Show answer
Answer: 7
Expand bracket: 2x - 6 = 8. Add 6 to both sides: 2x = 14. Divide by 2: x = 7.
-
Question 3
Solve 5x - 7 = 3x + 5.
Show answer
Answer: 6
Get x on one side: 5x - 3x - 7 = 5, so 2x - 7 = 5. Add 7: 2x = 12. Divide by 2: x = 6.
