Let’s solve each equation one by one. Remember, we want to get the variable (like x, p, k, etc.) alone on one side of the equals sign. We do this by doing the opposite operation to both sides.
---
1. x + 2 = 22
Subtract 2 from both sides:
x = 22 - 2 →
x = 20
2. -p + 2 = 4
Subtract 2 from both sides:
-p = 4 - 2 → -p = 2
Multiply both sides by -1:
p = -2
3. 5 = k - 4
Add 4 to both sides:
5 + 4 = k →
k = 9
4. 0 = f + 7
Subtract 7 from both sides:
0 - 7 = f →
f = -7
5. -2 = r - 4
Add 4 to both sides:
-2 + 4 = r →
r = 2
6. 5a = 20
Divide both sides by 5:
a = 20 ÷ 5 →
a = 4
7. h + 3 = -4
Subtract 3 from both sides:
h = -4 - 3 →
h = -7
8. -9 = x/2
Multiply both sides by 2:
-9 × 2 = x →
x = -18
9. 24 = 4c
Divide both sides by 4:
24 ÷ 4 = c →
c = 6
10. 11 = m + 4
Subtract 4 from both sides:
11 - 4 = m →
m = 7
11. k/2 = 8
Multiply both sides by 2:
k = 8 × 2 →
k = 16
12. 32 = f/7
Multiply both sides by 7:
32 × 7 = f →
f = 224

Final Answer:
1. x = 20
2. p = -2
3. k = 9
4. f = -7
5. r = 2
6. a = 4
7. h = -7
8. x = -18
9. c = 6
10. m = 7
11. k = 16
12. f = 224
