Answer 1

Answer:

1 (a) x = 12

1 (b) x = 4

2 (a) x = 24

2 (b) x = 20

3 (a) x = 4

3 (b) x = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1 (a)

2x/3 = 8

2x = 8 × 3

2x = 24

x = 24 ÷ 2

x = 12

1 (b)

3x/2 = 6

3x = 6 × 2

3x = 12

x = 12 ÷ 3

x = 4

2 (a)

x/3 - 2 = 6

x/3 = 6 + 2

x/3 = 8

x = 8 × 3

x = 24

2 (b)

x/5 + 1 = 5

x/5 = 5 - 1

x/5 = 4

x = 4 × 5

x = 20

3 (a)

5x/2 + 1 = 11

5x/2 = 11 - 1

5x/2 = 10

5x = 10 × 2

5x = 20

x = 20 ÷ 5

x = 4

3 (b)

2x/7 - 3 = 2

2x/7 = 2 + 3

2x/7 = 5

2x = 5 × 7

2x = 35

x = 35 ÷ 2

x = 17.5
