Hi,

Note: These questions all can be answered by following the steps needed for each

For Example:

1) removing the parenthesis

2) combining like terms

3) isolating the variable on one side of the equation

always keep in mind: Any operatioms done, need to done on both sides of the equation

.

6q=6(4q+1)

removing the parenthesis

6q= 24q+6 

isolating the variable on one side of the equation 

-6 = 18q  

-1/3 = q

.

7(t-2)-t=4

removing the parenthesis

7t-14-t=4

combining like terms

6t = 28

t = 4.667

.

6w+4=4w+1 

combining like terms

2w = -3

w = -3/2

.

13s=2s-66

combining like terms

11s = -66

s = -6
