Solving by combining like terms

100

5h+2+2h = 23

h = 3

200

3b + b - 8 = 4

b = 3

300

3a + 12 - 6a = -9

a = 7

400

-6 = -3y + 4 + 5y

y = -5

500

78 = 3c + 12 - c + 4

c = 31

Solving using the distributive property

100

2(x + 5) = 14

x = 2

200

5(d - 2) = 40

d = 10

300

7(4 - t) = -84

t = 16

400

-2(x - 9) = -24

x = 21

500

-13(4 + 2a) = 208

a = -10

Solving equations with fractions

100

1/2 x + 7 = 7/2

x = -7

200

2/5 - 1/2 x = 7/4

x= - 27/10

300

8/3 + 2 - 7/3 x = 6

x = - 4/7

400

5y/6 - 7y/8 - 1/12 = 1/3

y = -10

500

y/7 + y/28 + 1/2 = 3/4

y = 7/5

Solving equations with decimals

100

3x + 2.7 = -2.7

x = -1.8

200

x + 1.2 x + 6.9 = -3.0

x = - 4.5

300

33 = y + 3 - 0.4 y

y = 50

400

- 0.4 x + x + 17.2 = 18.1

x = 1.5

500

0 = 20.5 x - 16.35 x + 0.1245

x = - 0.03
