4) 
Multiply by 2 on both sides
3m + 15 = 45
Subtract both sides by 15
3m = 30
Divide both sides by 3
so m = 3
5) 
Multiply both sides by 8
168 = q + 35
Subtract both sides by 35
q = 133
6) 
Subtract 14 from both sides

multiply by -11 on both sides
4x = 572
Divide both sides by 4
x= 143
7) 
Add 6 on both sides

Multiply both sides by 5
3c = 75
Divide both sides by 3
c = 25
8) 
Subtract both sides by 17

Multiply both sides by -2
t = -52
9) 
Multiply both sides by -7
42= 5p + 2
subtract 2 from both sides
40 = 5p
Divide both sides by 5
so p = 8
