Let’s solve each problem step by step.

---

Given values:
x = 3
y = 5
z = -2

---

Problem 1: 6x + 2y

Substitute x and y:
6*(3) + 2*(5) = 18 + 10 = 28

Check: 6*3=18, 2*5=10 → 18+10=28 ✔️

---

Problem 2: 3(5 + y)

Substitute y = 5:
3*(5 + 5) = 3*10 = 30

Check: 5+5=10 → 3*10=30 ✔️

---

Problem 3: (x + y)²

Substitute x=3, y=5:
(3 + 5)² = 8² = 64

Check: 3+5=8 → 8*8=64 ✔️

---

Problem 4: (x - z) + y

Substitute x=3, z=-2, y=5:
(3 - (-2)) + 5 = (3 + 2) + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10

Check: minus negative is plus → 3+2=5 → 5+5=10 ✔️

---

Problem 5: x - 11 = 21

Add 11 to both sides:
x = 21 + 11 = 32

Check: 32 - 11 = 21 ✔️

---

Problem 6: x + 12 = 46

Subtract 12 from both sides:
x = 46 - 12 = 34

Check: 34 + 12 = 46 ✔️

---

Problem 7: 18 - x = 9

Subtract 18 from both sides:
-x = 9 - 18 = -9
Multiply both sides by -1:
x = 9

Check: 18 - 9 = 9 ✔️

---

Problem 8: x + 1.4 = 5.7

Subtract 1.4 from both sides:
x = 5.7 - 1.4 = 4.3

Check: 4.3 + 1.4 = 5.7 ✔️

---

Problem 9: x + 3 = 2(5 - 3)

First simplify right side:
2*(5 - 3) = 2*2 = 4
So: x + 3 = 4
Subtract 3 from both sides:
x = 4 - 3 = 1

Check: 1 + 3 = 4, and 2*(5-3)=4 ✔️

---

Problem 10: 13 - (-x) = 37

Simplify left side:
13 + x = 37
Subtract 13 from both sides:
x = 37 - 13 = 24

Check: 13 - (-24) = 13 + 24 = 37 ✔️

---
