The answers to the questions are:
1. x = 4
2. x = 1.5
3. x = 1.875
4. x = 1
<h3>2 step equation:</h3>
1. 4x + 3 = 19
4x = 19 - 3
4x = 16
divide by 4
x = 4
<h3>2 step equation w/ fractions:</h3>
(4/3)x + 5 = 17
= 1.33x + 5 = 7
Take like terms
1.33x = 7-5
1.33x = 2
divide through by 1.33x to get 2
x = 2/1.33
x = 1.5
<h3>3. Distributive Property:</h3>
4x(6 - 2) - 10 = 20
Multiply and open the bracket
24x - 8x - 10 = 20
Take like terms
16x = 20+10
16x = 30
x = 30/16
= 1.875
<h3>4. Decimals:</h3>
4.3x + 0.7 = 5
4.3x = 5 - 0.7
4.3x = 4.3
x = 1

If you do not mind me asking, what did Seth write? Us helpers cannot answer it if we do not have the full question. I apologize if this seems rude.
Answer:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x = 7 is a solution, substitute x = 7 into the equation and solve for a
4(7) - 2(7 + a) = 8 , that is
28 - 2(7 + a) = 8 ( subtract 28 from both sides )
- 2(7 + a) = - 20 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
7 + a = 10 ( subtract 7 from both sides )
a = 3
