  3. Solve for \( x \): \[ 4(x + 2) = 28 \]

  4. Solve for \( x \): \[ \frac{x}{2} - 5 = 7 \]

  5. Solve for \( x \): \[ 3x + 4 = 2x - 6 \]

Inequalities

  1. Solve the inequality: \[ 3x - 1 < 5 \]

  2. Solve the inequality: \[ -2x + 4 \geq 10 \]

  3. Solve the inequality: \[ 5 - x > 2x + 1 \]

  4. Solve the inequality: \[ 4x + 7 \leq 3x + 15 \]

  5. Solve the inequality: \[ -3(x - 2) > 6 \]

Solutions

Equations:

  1. \( 2x + 3 = 11 \)

    • Subtract 3: \( 2x = 8 \)
    • Divide by 2: \( x = 4 \)
  2. \( 5 - 3x = 2 \)

    • Subtract 5: \( -3x = -3 \)
    • Divide by -3: \( x = 1 \)
  3. \( 4(x + 2) = 28 \)

    • Divide by 4: \( x + 2 = 7 \)
    • Subtract 2: \( x = 5 \)
  4. \( \frac{x}{2} - 5 = 7 \)

    • Add 5: \( \frac{x}{2} = 12 \)
    • Multiply by 2: \( x = 24 \)
  5. \( 3x + 4 = 2x - 6 \)

    • Subtract \( 2x \): \( x + 4 = -6 \)
    • Subtract 4: \( x = -10 \)

Inequalities:

  1. \( 3x - 1 < 5 \)

    • Add 1: \( 3x < 6 \)
    • Divide by 3: \( x < 2 \)
  2. \( -2x + 4 \geq 10 \)

    • Subtract 4: \( -2x \geq 6 \)
    • Divide by -2 (flip the inequality): \( x \leq -3 \)
  3. \( 5 - x > 2x + 1 \)

    • Add \( x \): \( 5 > 3x + 1 \)
    • Subtract 1: \( 4 > 3x \)
    • Divide by 3: \( \frac{4}{3} > x \) or \( x < \frac{4}{3} \)
  4. \( 4x + 7 \leq 3x + 15 \)

    • Subtract \( 3x \): \( x + 7 \leq 15 \)
    • Subtract 7: \( x \leq 8 \)
  5. \( -3(x - 2) > 6 \)

    • Distribute: \( -3x + 6 > 6 \)
    • Subtract 6: \( -3x > 0 \)
    • Divide by -3 (flip the inequality): \( x < 0 \)
