Question

a) 3 - (17-x) = -12                                            

b) -26 - (x-7) = 0                                              

c) 25 + (-2+x) = 5                                            

d) 30+ (32-x) = 10         

Answer 1

\(a,3-\left(17-x\right)=-12\\ \Rightarrow17-x=15\\ \Rightarrow x=2\\ b,-26-\left(x-7\right)=0\\ \Rightarrow x-7=-26\\ \Rightarrow x=-19\\ c,25+\left(-2+x\right)=5\\ \Rightarrow-2+x=20\\ \Rightarrow x=18\\ d,30+\left(32-x\right)=10\\ \Rightarrow32-x=-20\\ \Rightarrow x=52\)

Answer 2

a) `3-(17-x)=-12`

`3-17+x=-12`

`x=-12-3+17`

`x=2`

b) `-26-(x-7)=0`

`-26-x+7=0`

`-19-x=0`

`x=-19`

c) `25+(-2+x)=5`

`25-2+x=5`

`x=5-25+2`

`x=-18`

d) `30+(32-x)=10`

`30+32-x=10`

`62-x=10`

`x=52`
