a) L + 17 = 90
N
b) =5
6
c) 3(P – 3) = 27
d) 7B + 5 = 26
e) 20(C – 50) = 1,900
2. Solve the following equations.
a) 2x + 5 = 7
b) 8 − 3t = 2
c) 4(3x + 1) = 7(x + 4) −2(x + 5)
d) 11 + 3(r −7) = 16 − (r + 2)
e) 8 + 4(x −1) − 5(x −3) = 2(5 − 2x)
f) 2.6x − 1.3 = 0.9x + 0.4
3. Solve the following pairs of simultaneous equations by both substitution and
elimination methods.
