Of course! Let's solve each of these linear equations in one variable step by step. The goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

1. $ x - 2 = 7 $
To isolate $x$, add 2 to both sides:
$ x - 2 + 2 = 7 + 2 $
$ x = 9 $
✔ Answer: 9
---
2. $ y + 3 = 10 $
Subtract 3 from both sides:
$ y + 3 - 3 = 10 - 3 $
$ y = 7 $
✔ Answer: 7
---
3. $ 6 = z + 2 $
Subtract 2 from both sides:
$ 6 - 2 = z + 2 - 2 $
$ 4 = z $
✔ Answer: 4
---
4. $ \frac{3}{7} + x = \frac{17}{7} $
Subtract $\frac{3}{7}$ from both sides:
$ x = \frac{17}{7} - \frac{3}{7} = \frac{14}{7} = 2 $
✔ Answer: 2
---
5. $ 6x = 12 $
Divide both sides by 6:
$ x = \frac{12}{6} = 2 $
✔ Answer: 2
---
6. $ \frac{t}{5} = 10 $
Multiply both sides by 5:
$ t = 10 \times 5 = 50 $
✔ Answer: 50
---
7. $ \frac{2x}{3} = 18 $
Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the denominator:
$ 2x = 18 \times 3 = 54 $
Now divide both sides by 2:
$ x = \frac{54}{2} = 27 $
✔ Answer: 27
---
8. $ 1.6 = \frac{y}{1.5} $
Multiply both sides by 1.5:
$ y = 1.6 \times 1.5 $
Calculate: $ 1.6 \times 1.5 = (1.6 \times 1) + (1.6 \times 0.5) = 1.6 + 0.8 = 2.4 $
✔ Answer: 2.4
---
9. $ 7x - 9 = 26 $
Add 9 to both sides:
$ 7x = 26 + 9 = 35 $
Divide by 7:
$ x = \frac{35}{7} = 5 $
✔ Answer: 5
---
10. $ 14y - 8 = 13 $
Add 8 to both sides:
$ 14y = 13 + 8 = 21 $
Divide by 14:
$ y = \frac{21}{14} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 $
✔ Answer: 1.5
