Question

What are the answers for questions 3&4? explanations if possible please!

Answer 1

For 3 you have to subtract 72 on both sides
+72 -2X=54
-72 -72
72-72 cancels out and then subtract the 54 from -72 the answer for that then should be divided by -2
and then X= (the answer)
and the -72 goes under 54 not -2x
