Question

1. 3x + 3 = 18

2. 2-7x = -47

3. (x/4) + 5 = 7

4. -1 - (2/7) x = -3

5. (x/5) -8 = -6

6. (x/6) + 2 = 2.5

Answer 1

1. 3x + 3 = 18
x = ( 18-3)/3
x =5

Answer 2

2. 2-7x = -47
x=(-47-2): -7
x= 7

Answer 3

4. -1 - (2/7) x = -3
x =(-3+1)*-(7/2)
x= 7

Answer 4

Jones, how far did you get on, say, problem # 3 before getting stuck?

Answer 5

I'm not sure I see the point in giving the answer to every problem. I don't know math but shouldn't the answer to one be instructive on how to answer the others on his/her own?

Answer 6

3. (x/4) = 7-5
x/4 = 2
x = 8

Answer 7

5. (x/5) = -6+8
x/5 = 2
x = 10

Answer 8

Hi Dgo, I know a little bit of math and you're absolutely correct. :) I hope that Jones is willing to chat a bit and explain where s/he is getting stuck with problems like these so that someone can best help him/her move past that point.
