1. fourteen minus the product of 3 and a number is 26
14 - (3n) = 26
14 - 26 = 3n
-12 = 3n
n = -4
2. negative seven minus the product of 5 and number is 28
-7 - (5n) = 28
-7 - 28 = 5n
-35 = 5n
n = -7
3. eleven minus the quotient of a number and 8 is 15
11 - (n/8) = 15
11-15 = (n/8)
-4 = n/8
n = -32
4. negative sixteen plus the quotient of a number and 2 is 35
-16 + (n/2) = 35
n/2 = 35 + 16
n/2 = 51
n = 102

14 - 3x = 26 when x = -4
-3x = 26 - 14 = 12
x = 12/-3 = -4
-7 - 5y = 28 when y = -7
-5y = 28 + 7 = 35
y = 35/-5 = -7
11 - z/8 = 15 when z = -32
-z/8 = 15 - 11 = 4
z = 4 * -8 = -32
-16 + q/2 = 35 when q = 102
q/2 = 35 + 16 = 51
q = 51 * 2 = 102
