a) (x + 73) - 26 = 76
x + 73 = 76 + 26
x + 73 = 102
x = 102-73
x = 29
b) 45-(c + 9) = 6
c + 9 = 6 + 45
c + 9 =51
c =51 - 9
c = 42
c) 89 - (73 - x)= 20
73 - x = 89 - 20
73 - x = 69
x = 73 - 69
x = 4
d) (x + 7) - 25 = 13
x + 7 = 13 + 25
x + 7 = 38
x = 38 - 7
x = 31
e) 198 - (x + 4) = 120
x + 4 = 198 - 120
x + 4 = 68
x = 68 - 4
x = 64
