Math Problem Statement

Solve

Solve the following algebraic equations: 3(x - 4) = 2(-2x + 1), 8q + 6 = 4q - 14, 9 = (v + 4)/(v + 12), 7 - (5t - 13) = -25, -3(7p + 5) = 27, 14 + 13y = 20y - 21, (-8 - 3k)/2 = 11, -15b + 21 + 5b = -19

Solution

I have displayed the image you uploaded. Let's solve the equations one by one.

1) 3(x4)=2(2x+1)3(x - 4) = 2(-2x + 1)

Solve for xx:

Expand both sides: 3x12=4x+23x - 12 = -4x + 2

Move all terms involving xx to one side and constants to the other: 3x+4x=2+123x + 4x = 2 + 12 7x=147x = 14

Solve for xx: x=2x = 2

2) 8q+6=4q148q + 6 = 4q - 14

Solve for qq:

Move all terms involving qq to one side and constants to the other: 8q4q=1468q - 4q = -14 - 6 4q=204q = -20

Solve for qq: q=5q = -5

3) 9=v+4v+129 = \frac{v + 4}{v + 12}

Solve for vv:

Multiply both sides by v+12v + 12: 9(v+12)=v+49(v + 12) = v + 4 9v+108=v+49v + 108 = v + 4

Move all terms involving vv to one side and constants to the other: 9vv=41089v - v = 4 - 108 8v=1048v = -104

Solve for vv: v=13v = -13

4) 7(5t13)=257 - (5t - 13) = -25

Solve for tt:

Expand and simplify: 75t+13=257 - 5t + 13 = -25 205t=2520 - 5t = -25

Move constants to one side: 5t=2520-5t = -25 - 20 5t=45-5t = -45

Solve for tt: t=9t = 9

5) 3(7p+5)=27-3(7p + 5) = 27

Solve for pp:

Expand: 21p15=27-21p - 15 = 27

Move constants to one side: 21p=27+15-21p = 27 + 15 21p=42-21p = 42

Solve for pp: p=2p = -2

6) 14+13y=20y2114 + 13y = 20y - 21

Solve for yy:

Move all terms involving yy to one side and constants to the other: 14+21=20y13y14 + 21 = 20y - 13y 35=7y35 = 7y

Solve for yy: y=5y = 5

7) 83k2=11\frac{-8 - 3k}{2} = 11

Solve for kk:

Multiply both sides by 2: 83k=22-8 - 3k = 22

Move constants to one side: 3k=22+8-3k = 22 + 8 3k=30-3k = 30

Solve for kk: k=10k = -10

8) 15b+21+5b=19-15b + 21 + 5b = -19

Solve for bb:

Combine like terms: 10b+21=19-10b + 21 = -19

Move constants to one side: 10b=1921-10b = -19 - 21 10b=40-10b = -40

Solve for bb: b=4b = 4

Would you like any further clarifications on these solutions?

Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How do you handle equations with fractions and variables?
  2. Can you explain the difference between combining like terms and distributing?
  3. What is the process for moving constants to one side of the equation?
  4. How does solving for a negative variable change the solution process?
  5. How do you verify if the solution to an equation is correct?

Tip: When solving equations, always perform the same operation on both sides to maintain balance!
