All exercises involve the same concept, so I'll show you how to do the first, then you can apply the exact same logic to all the others.

The first thing you need to know is that, when a certain quantity multiplies a parenthesis, you can distribute that number to every element in the parenthesis. This means that

a(b+c) = ab+ac

So, a is multiplying the parenthesis involving b and c, and we distributed it: a multiplies both  b and c in the final result.

Secondly, you have to know how to recognize like terms, because they are the only terms you can sum. Two terms can be summed if they have the same literal expression. So, for example, you cannot sum 3x+2y, and neither 5x^2-4x exponents count.

But you can su, for example,

5x-3x = (5-3)x = 2x

or

23xy^2z^6 - 17xy^2z^6 = 6xy^2z^6

So, take for example exercise 9:

1.2(7x-5y) - (10y-4.3x)

We distribute the 1.2 through the first parenthesis:

1.2(7x-5y) = 1.2 \cdot 7x - 1.2 \cdot 5y = 8.4x-6y

And you can distribute the negative sign through the second parenthesis (it counts as a -1 to distribute):

- (10y-4.3x) = -10y+4.3x

So, the expression becomes

8.4x-6y-10y+4.3x

Now sum like terms:

(8.4+4.3)x + (-6-10)y = 12.7x - 16y

Since they're vertical angles, they're equal in degree measure

since they're equal, we can make the two expressions equal to each other

5a - 1 = 2a + 20
add 1 to both sides

5a = 2a + 21
subtract 2a from both sides

3a = 21
divide both sides by 3a

a = 7

now, plug the answer you found for a into one of the two expressions

5a - 1 becomes (5*7) - 1, which equals 34

to double check that they're equivalent (since they're vertical angles)

2a + 20 becomes (2*7) + 20, which equals 34

both angles are 34 degrees!
