1.5= 3(x-5) + 4 -2x
removing the brackets
5=3x-15+4-2x
simplifying
5=x-11
adding -5
x=x-16
adding 16
x=16

2.4(2x-6)=x+2
remove thebrackets
8x-24=x+2
add 24
8x=x+26
add -x
7x=26
divide by 7
x=26/7

3.2(x+5)+1=3(x-1)+4
remove brackets
2x+10+1=3x-3+4
simplify
2x+11=3x+1
add -11
2x=3x-10
add -2x
0=x-10
add 10
x=10

4.x+6 = 4(4x - 1)
adding -6
x=4(4x-1)-6
removing brackets
x=16x-4-6
simplifying
x=16x-10
adding 10
x+10=16x
adding -x
10=15x
dividing by 15

Dude...now your getting lazy. But I got nothing better to do so...
5= 3(x-5) + 4 -2x
5 = 3x - 15 + 4 - 2x
5 = x - 11
16 = x

4(2x - 6) = x + 2
8x - 24 = x + 2
7x = 26
x = (26/7)

2(x+5) + 1 = 3 (x - 1) + 4
2x + 10 + 1 = 3x - 3 + 4
2x + 11 = 3x + 1
10 = x

x+6 = 4(4x - 1)
x + 6 = 16x - 4
10 = 15x
2/3 = x

1. 5=3(x-5)+4-2x
5=3x-15+4-2x
5=x-11
16=x

4(2x-6)=x+2
8x-24=x+2
8x-26=x
-26=-9x
x=2.888

2(x+5)+1=3(x-1)+4
2x+10+1=3x-3+4
2x+11=3x+1
2x+10=3x
10=x

x+6=4(4x-1)
x+6=16x-4
x+10=16x
x=.666

5=3(x-5)+4-2x (first mulitply)
5=3x-15+4-2x (combine 3x-2x and -15+4)
5=x-11 (add 11 to both sides)
x=16

4(2x-6)=x+2 (multiply the four out)
8x-24=x+2 (subtract two to leave x alone)
8x-26=x (subtract 8x to combine x's)
-26=-7x (divide both sides by -seven)
x= 26/7 ( i think if both are negative they cancel each other out?)

2(x+5)+1=3(x-1)+4 (mulitply out)
2x+10+1=3x-3+4 (combine like numbers)
2x+11=3x+1 (subtract one from each side)
2x+10=3x (subtract 2x from each side)
10=x

x+6=4(4x-1) (mulitply)
x+6=16x-4 (add four to both sides)
x+10=16x (subtract x from both sides)
10=15x (divide both sides by fifteen)
x=10/15 (use common denominator)
x=2/3

**** i havent done algebra in forever i hope i did these right. lol
