Sure! Let’s solve each of the 10 linear equations step by step. The goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

① 12 - x = 7
Subtract 12 from both sides:
→ -x = 7 - 12
→ -x = -5
Multiply both sides by -1:
→
x = 5
✔ Answer: x = 5
---
② 9 + 6x = 3x + 13
Subtract 3x from both sides:
→ 9 + 3x = 13
Subtract 9 from both sides:
→ 3x = 4
Divide by 3:
→
x = 4/3
✔ Answer: x = 4/3
---
③ 10x + 3 + 10x = 13x - 3
Combine like terms on left:
→ 20x + 3 = 13x - 3
Subtract 13x from both sides:
→ 7x + 3 = -3
Subtract 3 from both sides:
→ 7x = -6
Divide by 7:
→
x = -6/7
✔ Answer: x = -6/7

④ 0.25(60) + 0.10x = 0.15(60 + x)
First, compute 0.25 × 60 = 15
Compute right side: 0.15(60 + x) = 9 + 0.15x
So:
→ 15 + 0.10x = 9 + 0.15x
Subtract 0.10x from both sides:
→ 15 = 9 + 0.05x
Subtract 9:
→ 6 = 0.05x
Divide by 0.05 (or multiply by 20):
→
x = 120
✔ Answer: x = 120
---
⑤ 3 = 4(x - 2) + 5 - 4x
Distribute the 4:
→ 3 = 4x - 8 + 5 - 4x
Simplify right side:
→ 3 = (4x - 4x) + (-8 + 5)
→ 3 = 0 - 3
→ 3 = -3
✘
This is a contradiction —
no solution.
✔ Answer: No solution

⑥ (5y)/9 - 3 = 6
Add 3 to both sides:
→ (5y)/9 = 9
Multiply both sides by 9:
→ 5y = 81
Divide by 5:
→
y = 81/5 = 16.2
✔ Answer: y = 81/5 or 16.2
---
⑦ n/10 = 9 - n/4
Eliminate fractions by multiplying entire equation by LCM of 10 and 4 → 20:
20 × (n/10) = 20 × (9 - n/4)
→ 2n = 180 - 5n
Add 5n to both sides:
→ 7n = 180
Divide by 7:
→
n = 180/7
✔ Answer: n = 180/7
---
⑧ 21.1w + 4.6 = 10.9w
Subtract 10.9w from both sides:
→ 10.2w + 4.6 = 0
Subtract 4.6:
→ 10.2w = -4.6
Divide by 10.2:
→ w = -4.6 / 10.2
Multiply numerator and denominator by 10 to eliminate decimals:
→ w = -46 / 102
Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by 2:
→
w = -23/51
✔ Answer: w = -23/51
---
⑨ -5(3 - 4x) = -6 + 20x
Distribute -5:
→ -15 + 20x = -6 + 20x
Subtract 20x from both sides:
→ -15 = -6
✘
Contradiction —
no solution
✔ Answer: No solution

⑩ 9.2z - 4.3 = 50.8
Add 4.3 to both sides:
→ 9.2z = 55.1
Divide by 9.2:
→ z = 55.1 / 9.2
Multiply numerator and denominator by 10:
→ z = 551 / 92
Simplify? Let’s check GCD of 551 and 92.
92 = 2×2×23
551 ÷ 23 = 23.956… → not divisible.
Check 551 ÷ 19 = 29 → 19×29=551
92 ÷ 19? No. So no common factors.
→
z = 551/92 (or as decimal ≈ 5.989)
But let’s verify with decimal:
55.1 ÷ 9.2 = ?
9.2 × 6 = 55.2 → too big
9.2 × 5.99 = 9.2 × 6 - 9.2 × 0.01 = 55.2 - 0.092 = 55.108 → close to 55.1
Actually, 55.1 ÷ 9.2 = 551 ÷ 92 =
5.98913...
But since the problem likely expects exact form:
✔ Answer: z = 551/92
*(Alternatively, if decimal is acceptable: z ≈ 5.99)*
