Step-by-step explanation:
1
x - 4 = 20 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )
2x - 12 = 60 ( add 12 to both sides )
2x = 72 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 36
2
4 = ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
8 = - 1 + x ( add 1 to both sides )
9 = x
3
12(x + 9) = - 108 ( divide both sides by 12 )
x + 9 = - 9 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
x = - 18
4
5x + 14 = - 7 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
5x = - 21 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = - = - 4.2
