Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Basic Algebra Worksheets
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

---
