Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

What are the choices?

Answer 4

-8
-1
1
8

Answer 5

move all of the variables to one side, and then combine all the constants after you distribute the first part of the question.

Answer 6

Doing what MellyG recommended, I'd say that the answer is B

Answer 7

Okay simplify both sides of the equation 3x+2(x−9)=8x+x−14
5x−18=9x−14
than subtract 9x from both sides 5x−18−9x=9x−14−9x
−4x−18=−14
and add 18 to both sides−4x−18+18=−14+18
−4x=4
than at last u divide both sides by -4.
\(\frac{ -4x }{ -4 }\) = \(\frac{ 4 }{ -4 }\)
x=−1
