solve each equation.
3x-17=22
(I got x=13. Not sure if that was right. I added 17 on each side and that gave me 3x=39 and so I divided it by 3. and got x= 13. )

13(2x)+20=6(5x+2)
(so on this one I know you have to distribute the 6 so it would make that 30x+12,,Right? However looking at the other side would I distribute that too?)

8 ( x - 5 ) = 2x-6
---
2

(On this one,, I don't even know how to go about it,,,)

For your first equation, you can check your answer by plugging 13 back in for x. 39 - 17 does equal 22 so you are correct.

anonymous · Answer

13(2x)+20=6(5x+2) 
26x + 20 = 30x + 12
-4x = -8
x = 2

For your last equation, multiply both sides by two to remove the division and then solve the same as the second one.
