Math Problem Statement

Solve the following equations: a) x + 5 = 2 b) x + 54 = -33 c) -74 + x = 14 d) 58 + x = 96 e) 27 = x + 46 f) -43 = 19 + x

Solution

Let's solve each of these equations step by step.

a) x+5=2x + 5 = 2: x=25=3x = 2 - 5 = -3 Solution: x=3x = -3.

b) x+54=33x + 54 = -33: x=3354=87x = -33 - 54 = -87 Solution: x=87x = -87.

c) 74+x=14-74 + x = 14: x=14+74=88x = 14 + 74 = 88 Solution: x=88x = 88.

d) 58+x=9658 + x = 96: x=9658=38x = 96 - 58 = 38 Solution: x=38x = 38.

e) 27=x+4627 = x + 46: x=2746=19x = 27 - 46 = -19 Solution: x=19x = -19.

f) 43=19+x-43 = 19 + x: x=4319=62x = -43 - 19 = -62 Solution: x=62x = -62.
