Step-by-step explanation:
1
2(3x + 1) = 4(x + 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
6x + 2 = 4x + 8 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
2x + 2 = 8 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 3
------------------------------------------------------------
2
6x = 4(x - 3) ← distribute parenthesis
6x = 4x - 12 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
2x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - 6
-----------------------------------------------------------
3
2(4x + 7) = 4x + 30 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
8x + 14 = 4x + 30 (subtract 4x from both sides )
4x + 14 = 30 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
4x = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------
4
50 = - (y + 22) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1
50 = - y - 22 ( add 22 to both sides )
72 = - y ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
- 72 = y , that is
y = - 72
