Solve for x. 1. -3x + 4 = 31

solve for x. 2. 2x + -10 = 22

what is the solution? 3. 40 = 32 – 4r

1)-9

2)16

3)-2

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

-3x + 4 = 31

-3x = 31 - 4

-3x = 27

-x = 27/3

-x = 9

x = -9

2)

2x + -10 = 22

2x = 22 + 10

2x = 32

x = 32/2

x = 16

3)

40 = 32 – 4r

-4r = 40 - 32

-4r = 8

-r = 8/4

-r = 2

r = -2

The answers are:

1  

2  

3  

To know the solution of the problems, we need to isolate each variable.

Remember that:

- If we have an equality: if the number is adding (positive sign), and if you need to move it to the other side of the equality, its sign changes to negative.

- If we have an equality: if the number is subtracting (negative sign), and if you need to move it to the other side of the equality, its sign changes to positive.

- If we have  an equality:  if the number is part of a product , and if you need to move it to the other side of the equality, the same number will be dividing the factors of the side.

So:

1 - Solving for x

2 - Solving for x

3 - Solving for r
