Solve for x: -x=7

To isolate the variable, you must multiply both sides of the equation by -1. Remember: Multiplying a negative by a negative results in a positive.

Solve for x: x/3 - 1/4 = 20

To solve for x, you must first combine the constants on the right side of the equation. Next, you must add 1/4 to both sides of the equation, and then multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

Solve for y: 1/5(5y+20) = 4+2y

To solve for y, you must first distribute the 1/5 to the expression in parentheses on the left side of the equation. Then combine like terms and move all variables to one side of the equation. Finally, solve for y by dividing both sides by -3.

Solve for y: 2y+4-y = 18+y

To solve for y, you must first combine like terms on the left side of the equation. Then combine like terms on the right side of the equation. Next move all y terms to the left side of the equation, and all constants to the right side of the equation. Finally, solve for y by dividing both sides by -1.

Solve for x: x/10 = (x-12)/8

To solve for x, you must first cross multiply. Then solve for x by subtracting 120 from both sides, and then dividing 2 by -12.
