Solving Equations
(solve for x in the following equations. Be sure to SHOW your work! Work in boxes! Highlight your final answer in yellow, blue, or green!)







  1. x-5=-10



  2. 3x= - 60



  3. 2/3x + 6 = -24



  4. -3/5x -7 + 20 = 30



  5. 2x-6x+8-12=4x-5+6x



  6. 3(4x+5)=-10(2x-3)



  7. -2(6x-1) + 10x = 2(3x+8) - 6



  8. -3(4x-+5)+6+11x=4(8x-12)+3-5x



  9. 3/4(10x-3) - 6 = 20
