To solve the given equations, follow these steps for each one:
- (y−7)−(y−4)=2y
Expanding the parentheses:
y−7−y+4=2y
Combine like terms:
−3=2y
Divide by 2:
y=−23
- 3x−5+(x−2)=−5
Expanding the parentheses:
3x−5+x−2=−5
Combine like terms:
4x−7=−5
Add 7 to both sides:
4x=2
Divide by 4:
x=21
- 4x−(5x−11)=94
Distribute the negative sign:
4x−5x+11=94
Combine like terms:
−x+11=94
Subtract 11 from both sides:
−x=83
Multiply by -1 (to isolate x):
x=−83
- 14x=18−(5+12x)
First, solve the parentheses:
14x=18−5−12x
Combine like terms:
14x=13−12x
Add 12x to both sides:
26x=13
Divide by 26:
x=2613=21
- (8x−17)−(15+2x)=−4x
First, solve the parentheses:
8x−17−15−2x=−4x
Combine like terms:
6x−32=−4x
Add 4x to both sides:
10x−32=0
Add 32 to both sides:
10x=32
Divide by 10:
x=1032=516
- 10−(3x−16)=(42+5x)+(1−6x)
First, solve the parentheses:
10−3x+16=42+5x+1−6x
Combine like terms:
26−3x=43−x
Add 3x to both sides:
26=43−x+3x
Combine like terms again:
26=43+2x
Subtract 43 from both sides:
2x=−17
Divide by 2:
x=−217=−8.5
- 1.8x−(x−1.4)=0.3x+1.7
First, solve the parentheses:
1.8x−x+1.4=0.3x+1.7
Combine like terms:
0.8x+1.4=0.3x+1.7
Subtract 0.3x from both sides:
0.8x−0.3x+1.4=1.7
Combine like terms:
0.5x+1.4=1.7
Subtract 1.4 from both sides:
0.5x=0.3
Divide by 0.5:
x=0.50.3=0.6
- 7(2x+1.9)+x=−1.7
Distribute the 7:
14x+13.3+x=−1.7
Combine like terms:
15x+13.3=−1.7
Subtract 13.3 from both sides:
15x=−15
Divide by 15:
x
0
0
