Solving by combining like terms
2(x + 5) = 14
x = 2
Simplify. 3 + 5(a + 4)
5a + 23
3b + b - 8 = 4
b = 3
5(d - 2) = 40
d = 10
Simplify. - (2b - 4)
-2b + 4
3a + 12 - 6a = -9
a = 7
7(4 - t) = -84
t = 16
Simplify. 7(t + 8.5) - 5t + 4
2t + 63.5
-6 = -3y + 4 + 5y
y = -5
-2(x - 9) = -24
x = 21
2. evaluate when x= 3 and y = -2
2. 14
78 = 3c + 12 - c + 4
c = 31
-13(4 + 2a) = 208
a = -10
2. Evaluate when y = 4
