Algebra

Solve the following equations

I.e make x the subject

1. x + 5 = 18 5. 2x + 3 = 19, 19 - 3 = 16
x +5 - 5 = 18 - 5 2x = 16
x = 13 x = 16/2 = 8

2. x - 7 = 23 6. 3x - 4 = 20
x - 7 +7 = 23 + 7 3x - 4 + 4 = 20 + 4
x = 30 3x = 24
3x/3 = 24/3, x = 8

3. 4x = 12 7. x/4 + 7 = 10
4x/4 = 12/4 x/4 + 7 - 7 = 10 - 7
x=3 x/4 = 3
x/4 x 4 = 3 x 4
x = 12

4. x/5 = 7 8. x/5 - 3 = 9
𝑥
5
x5=7x5 x/5 - 3 + 3 = 9 + 3

x = 35 x/5 = 12

x/5 x 5 = 12 x 5
x = 60
