Solving Equations

-132 = 4x – 5(6x – 10)

-132 = 4x – 30x + 50 -132 = -26x + 50

-182 = -26x 7 = x

-6x + 2(-4x – 17) = 78

-6x – 8x – 34 = 78-14x – 34 = 78

-14x = 112x = -8

-98 = -7x – 4(2x – 13)

-98 = -7x – 8x + 52-98 = -15x + 52

-150 = -15x 10 = x

5x – 2(-2x – 17) = 124

5x + 4x + 34 = 1249x + 34 = 124

9x = 90x = 10

26 = -7x – 4(2x – 13)

26 = -7x -8x + 5226 = -15x + 52

-26 = -15x 1.73 = x

4x + 4(-6x – 6) = -144

4x – 24x – 24 = -144-20x – 24 = -144

-20x = -120x = 6

137 = -5x + 4(5x +8)

137 = -5x + 20x + 32137 = 15x + 32

105 = 15x7 = x

186 = 6x – 4(7x – 8)

186 = 6x – 28x + 32186 = -22x + 32

154 = - 22x-7 = x
