Step-by-step solution for: Combining Like Terms and Solving Simple Linear Equations (A)
The provided image contains a worksheet titled "Simplifying and Solving Equations (A) Answers." The task involves solving each equation to determine the value of the unknown variable. Below, I will explain the solution process for a few selected equations as examples. If you need detailed solutions for specific equations, please let me know!
---
General Approach to Solving Linear Equations
1. Simplify both sides: Expand any parentheses and combine like terms.
2. Isolate the variable: Move all terms involving the variable to one side of the equation and all constant terms to the other side.
3. Solve for the variable: Divide or multiply as needed to isolate the variable completely.

Selected Examples
#### Equation 1: \( 2(3 - h) - 6 = -5h \)
1. Expand the parentheses:
\[
2(3 - h) - 6 = -5h
\]
\[
6 - 2h - 6 = -5h
\]
2. Simplify:
\[
-2h = -5h
\]
3. Add \( 5h \) to both sides:
\[
-2h + 5h = 0
\]
\[
3h = 0
\]
4. Solve for \( h \):
\[
h = 0
\]
#### Equation 2: \( 7 + 9d = 7d + 3 \)
1. Subtract \( 7d \) from both sides:
\[
7 + 9d - 7d = 7d + 3 - 7d
\]
\[
7 + 2d = 3
\]
2. Subtract 7 from both sides:
\[
7 + 2d - 7 = 3 - 7
\]
\[
2d = -4
\]
3. Divide by 2:
\[
d = -2
\]
#### Equation 3: \( -2(4 + 3y) = -2(4 + y) \)
1. Expand both sides:
\[
-2(4 + 3y) = -2(4 + y)
\]
\[
-8 - 6y = -8 - 2y
\]
2. Add 8 to both sides:
\[
-8 - 6y + 8 = -8 - 2y + 8
\]
\[
-6y = -2y
\]
3. Add \( 2y \) to both sides:
\[
-6y + 2y = -2y + 2y
\]
\[
-4y = 0
\]
4. Solve for \( y \):
\[
y = 0
\]
#### Equation 4: \( -7 + 4c = 7c + 6 \)
1. Subtract \( 4c \) from both sides:
\[
-7 + 4c - 4c = 7c + 6 - 4c
\]
\[
-7 = 3c + 6
\]
2. Subtract 6 from both sides:
\[
-7 - 6 = 3c + 6 - 6
\]
\[
-13 = 3c
\]
3. Divide by 3:

\[
3 + v - v = 4v - 2 - v
\]
\[
3 = 3v - 2
\]
3. Add 2 to both sides:
\[
3 + 2 = 3v - 2 + 2
\]
\[
5 = 3v
\]
4. Divide by 3:
\[
v = \frac{5}{3}
\]

\]
\[
-6 + 6m = 9 - 2m
\]
2. Add \( 2m \) to both sides:
\[
-6 + 6m + 2m = 9 - 2m + 2m
\]
\[
-6 + 8m = 9
\]
3. Add 6 to both sides:
\[
-6 + 8m + 6 = 9 + 6
\]
\[
8m = 15
\]
4. Divide by 8:
\[
m = \frac{15}{8}
\]
#### Equation 9: \( -2q - 3 = -2(2q + 1) \)
1. Expand the right side:
\[
-2q - 3 = -2(2q + 1)
\]
\[
-2q - 3 = -4q - 2
\]
2. Add \( 4q \) to both sides:
\[
-2q - 3 + 4q = -4q - 2 + 4q
\]
\[
2q - 3 = -2
\]
3. Add 3 to both sides:
\[
2q - 3 + 3 = -2 + 3
\]
\[
2q = 1
\]
4. Divide by 2:
\[
q = \frac{1}{2}
\]
#### Equation 10: \( 6n + 7 = 2n + 5 \)
1. Subtract \( 2n \) from both sides:
\[
6n + 7 - 2n = 2n + 5 - 2n
\]
\[
4n + 7 = 5
\]
2. Subtract 7 from both sides:
\[
4n + 7 - 7 = 5 - 7
\]
\[
4n = -2
\]

\[
n = -\frac{1}{2}
\]
