Let's solve each equation step by step. These are all linear equations in one variable, and we'll solve for the unknown variable using basic algebraic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).

---

Problem 1:


4a + 15 = 31
Subtract 15 from both sides:
4a = 31 - 15 = 16
Divide both sides by 4:
a = 16 ÷ 4 = 4

✔ a = 4

---

Problem 2:


5x + 8 = 18
Subtract 8 from both sides:
5x = 18 - 8 = 10
Divide by 5:
x = 10 ÷ 5 = 2

✔ x = 2

---

Problem 3:


3a + 12 = 24
Subtract 12:
3a = 24 - 12 = 12
Divide by 3:
a = 12 ÷ 3 = 4

✔ a = 4

---

Problem 4:


5c + 2 = 22
Subtract 2:
5c = 20
Divide by 5:
c = 20 ÷ 5 = 4

✔ c = 4

---

Problem 5:


4x - 9 = 7
Add 9 to both sides:
4x = 7 + 9 = 16
Divide by 4:
x = 16 ÷ 4 = 4

✔ x = 4

---

Problem 6:


x + 1 = 4
Subtract 1:
x = 4 - 1 = 3

✔ x = 3

---

Problem 7:


6x - 3 = 3
Add 3:
6x = 6
Divide by 6:
x = 6 ÷ 6 = 1

✔ x = 1

---

Problem 8:


2a + 2 = 8
Subtract 2:
2a = 6
Divide by 2:
a = 6 ÷ 2 = 3

✔ a = 3

---

Problem 9:


6a + 8 = 32
Subtract 8:
6a = 24
Divide by 6:
a = 24 ÷ 6 = 4

✔ a = 4

---

Problem 10:


4x - 6 = 2
Add 6:
4x = 8
Divide by 4:
x = 8 ÷ 4 = 2

✔ x = 2

---

Problem 11:


3x - 2 = 10
Add 2:
3x = 12
Divide by 3:
x = 12 ÷ 3 = 4

✔ x = 4

---

Problem 12:


a + 1 = 5
Subtract 1:
a = 5 - 1 = 4

✔ a = 4

---

Problem 13:


c + 1 = 3
Subtract 1:
c = 3 - 1 = 2

✔ c = 2

---

Problem 14:


3b - 4 = 14
Add 4:
3b = 18
Divide by 3:
b = 18 ÷ 3 = 6

✔ b = 6

---

Problem 15:


6a - 13 = 11
Add 13:
6a = 24
Divide by 6:
a = 24 ÷ 6 = 4

✔ a = 4

---

Problem 16:


6b - 36 = 0
Add 36:
6b = 36
Divide by 6:
b = 36 ÷ 6 = 6

✔ b = 6

---

Problem 17:


4b - 9 = 15
Add 9:
4b = 24
Divide by 4:
b = 24 ÷ 4 = 6

✔ b = 6

---

Problem 18:


6b - 12 = 18
Add 12:
6b = 30
Divide by 6:
b = 30 ÷ 6 = 5

✔ b = 5

---
