Respuesta :

1. x = 22, 2. x = 1, 3. x = 10

1.

2x - 28 = 16 ( add 28 to both sides )

2x = 44 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 22 ← solution

2.

12 = 5x + 7 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

5 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )

1 = x ⇒ x = 1 ← solution

3.

140 = 10x + 4x ( collect like terms on right side )

140 = 14x ( divide both sides by 14 )

10 = x ⇒ x = 10 ← solution
