Answers

Solving linear equations, Standard

1 $x = -6$
2 $x = 7$
3 $x = -4$
4 $x = -2$
5 $x = 8$
6 $x = 3$

Method in brief

Do the same to both sides until the unknown stands alone: clear brackets and fractions, collect the unknown on one side, then divide. Substitute your answer back to check it.
