Let's solve each equation step by step. These are basic algebraic equations where we need to isolate the variable $ x $ on one side of the equation.

1. $ 21 + x = 26 $
Subtract 21 from both sides:
$$
x = 26 - 21 = 5
$$
✔ Answer: $ x = 5 $
---
2. $ 12 + 2x = 16 $
Subtract 12 from both sides:
$$
2x = 16 - 12 = 4
$$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$
x = \frac{4}{2} = 2
$$
✔ Answer: $ x = 2 $
---
3. $ 4x - 2 = 10 $
Add 2 to both sides:
$$
4x = 10 + 2 = 12
$$
Divide both sides by 4:
$$
x = \frac{12}{4} = 3
$$
✔ Answer: $ x = 3 $
---
4. $ x + 7 = 12 $
Subtract 7 from both sides:
$$
x = 12 - 7 = 5
$$
✔ Answer: $ x = 5 $
---
5. $ x + 15 = 28 $
Subtract 15 from both sides:
$$
x = 28 - 15 = 13
$$
✔ Answer: $ x = 13 $
---
6. $ 6x - 12 = 12 $
Add 12 to both sides:
$$
6x = 12 + 12 = 24
$$
Divide both sides by 6:
$$
x = \frac{24}{6} = 4
$$
✔ Answer: $ x = 4 $
---
7. $ 9x - 18 = 9 $
Add 18 to both sides:
$$
9x = 9 + 18 = 27
$$
Divide both sides by 9:
$$
x = \frac{27}{9} = 3
$$
✔ Answer: $ x = 3 $
---
8. $ x + 24 = 36 $
Subtract 24 from both sides:
$$
x = 36 - 24 = 12
$$
✔ Answer: $ x = 12 $
---
9. $ 7x - 4 = 10 $
Add 4 to both sides:
$$
7x = 10 + 4 = 14
$$
Divide both sides by 7:
$$
x = \frac{14}{7} = 2
$$
✔ Answer: $ x = 2 $
---
10. $ x + 14 = 32 $
Subtract 14 from both sides:
$$
x = 32 - 14 = 18
$$
✔ Answer: $ x = 18 $
---
