1) -3x -3 -7x = 17
• start by grouping so add -3x and -7x which gives you -10x 
• 10x -3 (+3) = 17 +3 = 20 add 3 on both sides)
• 10x (/10) = 20/ 10 = 2
1) x = 2
2) 10x -6 (+6) = 24 + 6 = 30
• 10x (/10) = 30/ 10 = 3
2) x = 3
3) -4 (+4) -5x = -39 +4 = -35
• -5x (/-5) = -35/ -5 = 7
3) x = 7
4) 3x - 5 > 10
this one i don’t understand, is there a typo maybe ?
5) -5x + x + 16 = -3 you can put a 1 to hold the place of x to make it 1x
• (-5x + 1x) + 16 = -3
• -4x + 16 (-16) = -3 -16 = -19
• -4x (/-4) = -19/ -4 = 4.75 or 4 3/4
5) x = 4.75
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. here you go mate
step 1
6x - 12 < 6  equation
step 2
6x - 12 < 6  simplify
6x-12+12<6+12
step 3
6x<18  Divide both sides

answer
x<3
2. Here you go mate
step 1
2(3x-8) >8  equation
step 2
2(3x-8) >8  simplify
6x-16+16>8+16
step 3
6x>24  divide both sides

answer
x>4
 
        
             
        
        
        
This one is prime.  The sum of two squares doesn't factor.
The more interesting case is q^2-1, which factors into (q-1)(q+1).  
        
             
        
        
        
Bare with me a minute, I am still trying to figure it out. Here is what I have so far.
