Math Problem Statement

Solve each equation: Variables on both sides

Solution

The image contains several linear equations that need to be solved for the variable. I’ll go through each problem one by one, providing the solutions and explanations.

1. Equation:

7+2n=83n-7 + 2n = 8 - 3n

Solution:

  1. Add 3n3n to both sides: 7+5n=8-7 + 5n = 8
  2. Add 77 to both sides: 5n=155n = 15
  3. Divide both sides by 55: n=3n = 3

2. Equation:

11+6x=1+8x-11 + 6x = 1 + 8x

Solution:

  1. Subtract 6x6x from both sides: 11=1+2x-11 = 1 + 2x
  2. Subtract 11 from both sides: 12=2x-12 = 2x
  3. Divide both sides by 22: x=6x = -6

3. Equation:

v8v=2vv - 8v = 2v

Solution:

  1. Combine like terms on the left side: 7v=2v-7v = 2v
  2. Add 7v7v to both sides: 0=9v0 = 9v
  3. This equation results in: v=0v = 0

4. Equation:

24n=106n-2 - 4n = 10 - 6n

Solution:

  1. Add 6n6n to both sides: 2+2n=10-2 + 2n = 10
  2. Add 22 to both sides: 2n=122n = 12
  3. Divide both sides by 22: n=6n = 6

5. Equation:

14x=152x1 - 4x = -15 - 2x

Solution:

  1. Add 4x4x to both sides: 1=15+2x1 = -15 + 2x
  2. Add 1515 to both sides: 16=2x16 = 2x
  3. Divide both sides by 22: x=8x = 8

6. Equation:

4n+3=7+2n4n + 3 = -7 + 2n

Solution:

  1. Subtract 2n2n from both sides: 2n+3=72n + 3 = -7
  2. Subtract 33 from both sides: 2n=102n = -10
  3. Divide both sides by 22: n=5n = -5

7. Equation:

2x+8=15x2x + 8 = 1 - 5x

Solution:

  1. Add 5x5x to both sides: 7x+8=17x + 8 = 1
  2. Subtract 88 from both sides: 7x=77x = -7
  3. Divide both sides by 77: x=1x = -1

8. Equation:

11+5+3a7a=8a8a11 + 5 + 3a - 7a = 8a - 8a

Solution:

  1. Simplify the left side by combining like terms: 164a=016 - 4a = 0
  2. Add 4a4a to both sides: 16=4a16 = 4a
  3. Divide both sides by 44: a=4a = 4
