Math Problem Statement

Solve each equation: 2x = 10, -3x = 21, 1/3x = 6, -1/2x = -7.

Solution

Let's solve each equation step by step.

  1. Equation: 2x=102x = 10
    To solve for xx: x=102=5x = \frac{10}{2} = 5 Solution: x=5x = 5

  2. Equation: 3x=21-3x = 21
    To solve for xx: x=213=7x = \frac{21}{-3} = -7 Solution: x=7x = -7

  3. Equation: 13x=6\frac{1}{3}x = 6
    To solve for xx: x=63=18x = 6 \cdot 3 = 18 Solution: x=18x = 18

  4. Equation: 12x=7-\frac{1}{2}x = -7
    To solve for xx: x=712=72=14x = \frac{-7}{-\frac{1}{2}} = -7 \cdot -2 = 14 Solution: x=14x = 14

Final Answers:

  1. x=5x = 5
  2. x=7x = -7
  3. x=18x = 18
  4. x=14x = 14
