One Step

100

2x = 10

x = 5

200

x - 4 = 12

x = 16

300

7 + y = 15

y = 8

400

5a = 15

a = 3

500

x/3 = 2

x = 6

Two Step

100

3x - 4 = 8

x = 4

200

5x + 6 = 26

x = 4

300

2x - 1 = 9

x = 5

400

4b - 12 = -8

b = 1

500

15 - 4d = 23

d = -2

Brackets

100

4(a+2) = 16

a = 2

200

3(b+1) = 21

b = 6

300

2(4 - c) = 20

c = -6

400

-5(10-e) = -40

e = 2

500

-3(f - 3 - 5) = 24

f = 0

Pronumerals Both Sides

100
