Eight times the result of subtracting 3 from a number is equal to the number increased by 25.
8(x-3) = x + 25
300
Is x = 5 a solution to the equation 11 (x+10) = 132.
No. 11(5 + 10) does not equal 132.
300
The measure of one angle is 13 less than five times the measure of another angle. The sum of the measures of the angles is 140 degrees. Come up with an equation, solve for x, and determine the angle measures.
x + (5x -13) = 140 6x - 13 = 140 x = 23.5 angle 1: 23.5 angle 2: 114.5

The width of a rectangle is 7 less than twice the length. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 45 inches, write an equation to solve for x.
6x - 14 = 45
500
Is x = -31 a solution to the equation 3(2x-14) + x = 15 - (-9x - 5)
Yes. 3(2(-31) - 14) + -31 = 15 - (-9(-31) - 5) 3(-62 - 14) + -31 = 15 -(279 - 5) 3(-76) + -31 = 15 - (274) -228 + -31 = -259 -259 = -259
