Step-by-step explanation:
1. 4(2+3c) = 56
[tex]4(2+3c) = 56\\8+12c = 56[/tex]
Subtracting 8 from both sides
[tex]8-8+12c = 56-8\\12c = 48[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 12
[tex]\frac{12c}{12} = \frac{48}{12}\\c = 4[/tex]
Checking:
[tex]4[2+3(4)] = 56\\4(2+12) = 56\\4(14) = 56\\56 = 56[/tex]
3. -29 = 5(2a-1)+2a
Simplifying
[tex]-29 = 10a-5+2a\\-29 = 12a-5[/tex]
Adding 5 on both sides
[tex]-29+5 = 12a - 5+5\\-24 = 12a[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 12
[tex]\frac{12a}{12} = \frac{-24}{12}\\a = -2[/tex]
Checking:
[tex]-29 = 5(2a-1)+2a\\-29 = 5[2(-2)-1]+2(-2)\\-29 = 5(-4-1) -4\\-29 = 5(-5) -4\\-29 = -25-4\\-29 = -29[/tex]
5 . 7p-(3p+4) = -2(2p-1)+10
Simplifying
[tex]7p-3p-4 = -4p+2+10\\4p-4 = -4p+12[/tex]
Adding 4 on both sides
[tex]4p-4+4 = -4p+12+4\\4p = -4p+16[/tex]
Adding 4p on both sides
[tex]4p+4p = -4p+4p+16\\8p = 16[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 8
[tex]\frac{8p}{8} = \frac{16}{8}\\p = 2[/tex]
Checking:
[tex]7p-(3p+4) = -2(2p-1)+10\\7(2)-[3(2)+4] = -2[2(2)-1] +10\\14 - (6+4) = -2 (4-1) +10\\14 - 10 = -2(3) +10\\4 = -6+10\\4=4[/tex]
7. 1/2 (-4+6x) = 1/3x + 2/3*(x+9)
Simplifying
[tex]\frac{1}{2} (-4+6x) = \frac{1}{3}x+\frac{2}{3}(x+9)\\\frac{-4}{2}+\frac{6x}{2} = \frac{x}{3} +\frac{2x}{3} + \frac{18}{3}\\-2+3x = \frac{x+2x+18}{3}\\-2+3x = \frac{3x+18}{3}\\3(-2+3x) = 3x+18\\-6+9x = 3x+18[/tex]
Adding 6 on both sides
[tex]-6+6+9x = 3x+18+6\\9x = 3x+24[/tex]
Subtracting 3x from both sides
[tex]9x-3x = 3x-3x+24\\6x = 24[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 6
[tex]\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{24}{6}\\x = 4[/tex]
Checking:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} [-4+6(4)] = \frac{1}{3}(4)+\frac{2}{3}(4+9)\\\frac{1}{2}(-4+24) = \frac{4}{3}+\frac{2}{3}(13)\\\frac{1}{2}(20) = \frac{4}{3} +\frac{26}{3}\\15 = \frac{4+26}{3}\\15 = \frac{30}{3}\\15=15[/tex]
