c)5x-3+x=2x+9
d)17x-7x=x+18
e)x+x-4=17-2x+1
f)x+2+3-5x=4x-9
g)5x+6-16=3x+2-4
h)5x+4=3x-2x+4
​

Answer 1

a)16x-1=12x+3

16x-12x=3+1

4x=4

x=4/4

x=1

b)3x-2=4x+9

-2-9=4x-3x

-11=x

-11/1=x

x=-11

c)5x-3+x=2x+9

6x-3=2x+9

6x-2x=9+3

4x=12

x=12/4

x=3

d)17x-7x=x+18

10x-x=18

9x=18

x=18/9

x=2

e)x+x-4=17-2x+1

2x-4=18-2x

2x+2x=18+4

4x=22

x=22/4

x=5,5

f)x+2+3-5x=4x-9

-4x+5=4x-9

5+9=4x+4x

14=8x

14/8=x

x=1,75

g)5x+6-16=3x+2-4

5x-10=3x-2

5x-3x=-2+10

2x=8

x=8/2

x=4

h)5x+4=3x-2x+4

5x+4=x+4

5x-x=4-4

4x=0

x=0/4

x=0
