Answer 1

To solve the equation −4(2x − 11) = 12, we can start by distributing the -4 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-4 * 2x = -8x
-4 * -11 = 44

So the equation becomes: -8x + 44 = 12

Next, we can isolate the variable by subtracting 44 from both sides of the equation:

-8x + 44 - 44 = 12 - 44
-8x = -32

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by -8 to solve for x:

-8x / -8 = -32 / -8
x = 4

Therefore, x equals 4.

Answer 3

To solve the equation −3(−4x − 3) = −27, we can start by distributing the -3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-3 * -4x = 12x
-3 * -3 = 9

So the equation becomes: 12x + 9 = -27

Next, we can isolate the variable by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation:

12x + 9 - 9 = -27 - 9
12x = -36

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 12 to solve for x:

12x / 12 = -36 / 12
x = -3

Therefore, x equals -3.

Answer 5

To solve the equation 2x − 4x − 3 = −27, we can start by combining like terms:

-2x - 3 = -27

Next, we can isolate the variable by adding 3 to both sides of the equation:

-2x - 3 + 3 = -27 + 3
-2x = -24

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by -2 to solve for x:

-2x / -2 = -24 / -2
x = 12

Therefore, x equals 12.

Answer 7

To solve the equation −4(3x + 10) − 2 = 54, we can start by distributing the -4 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-4 * 3x = -12x
-4 * 10 = -40

So the equation becomes: -12x - 40 - 2 = 54

Next, we can combine like terms on the left side of the equation:

-12x - 42 = 54

Next, we can isolate the variable by adding 42 to both sides of the equation:

-12x - 42 + 42 = 54 + 42
-12x = 96

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by -12 to solve for x:

-12x / -12 = 96 / -12
x = -8

Therefore, x equals -8.

Answer 9

To solve the equation 20x − 5(6x + 15) = -45, we can start by distributing the -5 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-5 * 6x = -30x
-5 * 15 = -75

So the equation becomes: 20x - 30x - 75 = -45

Next, we can combine like terms on the left side of the equation:

(20x - 30x) - 75 = -45

Simplifying further:

-10x - 75 = -45

Next, we can isolate the variable by adding 75 to both sides of the equation:

-10x - 75 + 75 = -45 + 75
-10x = 30

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by -10 to solve for x:

-10x / -10 = 30 / -10
x = -3

Therefore, x equals -3.
