Question 66430
5x+2=2x-10 

First, subtract 2x from both sides. Which leaves:

3x+2=-10

Then, subtract 2 from both sides:

3x= -12

Finally divide both sides by 3x:

x= -4

Skip number 2

8-5P=4P-1

First, add one to each side:

9-5P= 4P

Then, add 5P to both sides:

9=9P

Finally, divide both sides by 9:

1=P
---------------------------------------------

0.2X-8=-2-X

First, add 2 to both sides:

2.2X-8=-X

Then, subtract 2.2X from both sides:

-8=-2.2X

Finally, divide both sides by -2.2:

X=3.63 repeating decimal
-------------------------------------------------
-4-3X=7X-6 

First, subtract 7X from both sides:
 -4-10X=-6

Then, add -4 to both sides:

-10X=-2

Finally, divide both sides by -10:

X= .2 or 1/5
