1. x - 32 = -58
Solve for x.
2. 14n = -28
3. r = b + 14
r + b = 300
Substitute b+14 for e in second equation and solve for b. If you want, insert that value into the first equation and solve for r. Check by inserting both values into the second equation.
4-6. Use similar method to 3.
7. x + x+1 +x+2 = 108
Combine terms.
