To solve the given algebraic equations, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Here are the solutions for each equation, along with explanations:

---

Equation 1: \( x + 5 = 9 \)


- Subtract 5 from both sides:
\[
x + 5 - 5 = 9 - 5
\]
\[
x = 4
\]

Equation 2: \( x + 7 = 15 \)


- Subtract 7 from both sides:
\[
x + 7 - 7 = 15 - 7
\]
\[
x = 8
\]

Equation 3: \( x + 1 = 8 \)


- Subtract 1 from both sides:
\[
x + 1 - 1 = 8 - 1
\]
\[
x = 7
\]

Equation 4: \( x + 11 = 21 \)


- Subtract 11 from both sides:
\[
x + 11 - 11 = 21 - 11
\]
\[
x = 10
\]

Equation 5: \( x + 6 = 4 \)


- Subtract 6 from both sides:
\[
x + 6 - 6 = 4 - 6
\]
\[
x = -2
\]

Equation 6: \( x + 4 = 4 \)


- Subtract 4 from both sides:
\[
x + 4 - 4 = 4 - 4
\]
\[
x = 0
\]

Equation 7: \( y + 20 = 32 \)


- Subtract 20 from both sides:
\[
y + 20 - 20 = 32 - 20
\]
\[
y = 12
\]

Equation 8: \( y + 12 = 30 \)


- Subtract 12 from both sides:
\[
y + 12 - 12 = 30 - 12
\]
\[
y = 18
\]

Equation 9: \( t + 8 = 101 \)


- Subtract 8 from both sides:
\[
t + 8 - 8 = 101 - 8
\]
\[
t = 93
\]

Equation 10: \( r + 0.5 = 9 \)


- Subtract 0.5 from both sides:
\[
r + 0.5 - 0.5 = 9 - 0.5
\]
\[
r = 8.5
\]

Equation 11: \( x - 1 = 10 \)


- Add 1 to both sides:
\[
x - 1 + 1 = 10 + 1
\]
\[
x = 11
\]

Equation 12: \( x - 5 = 2 \)


- Add 5 to both sides:
\[
x - 5 + 5 = 2 + 5
\]
\[
x = 7
\]

Equation 13: \( x - 8 = 20 \)


- Add 8 to both sides:
\[
x - 8 + 8 = 20 + 8
\]
\[
x = 28
\]

Equation 14: \( x - 9 = -3 \)


- Add 9 to both sides:
\[
x - 9 + 9 = -3 + 9
\]
\[
x = 6
\]

Equation 15: \( x - 3 = 21 \)


- Add 3 to both sides:
\[
x - 3 + 3 = 21 + 3
\]
\[
x = 24
\]

Equation 16: \( x - 7 = 4 \)


- Add 7 to both sides:
\[
x - 7 + 7 = 4 + 7
\]
\[
x = 11
\]

Equation 17: \( y - 10 = 34 \)


- Add 10 to both sides:
\[
y - 10 + 10 = 34 + 10
\]
\[
y = 44
\]

Equation 18: \( t - 52 = 11 \)


- Add 52 to both sides:
\[
t - 52 + 52 = 11 + 52
\]
\[
t = 63
\]

Equation 19: \( t - 3.5 = 9 \)


- Add 3.5 to both sides:
\[
t - 3.5 + 3.5 = 9 + 3.5
\]
\[
t = 12.5
\]

Equation 20: \( p - 21 = -4 \)


- Add 21 to both sides:
\[
p - 21 + 21 = -4 + 21
\]
\[
p = 17
\]

Equation 21: \( 2x = 12 \)


- Divide both sides by 2:
\[
\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{12}{2}
\]
\[
x = 6
\]

Equation 22: \( 5x = 15 \)


- Divide both sides by 5:
\[
\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{15}{5}
\]
\[
x = 3
\]

Equation 23: \( 3x = -6 \)


- Divide both sides by 3:
\[
\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{-6}{3}
\]
\[
x = -2
\]

Equation 24: \( 8x = 32 \)


- Divide both sides by 8:
\[
\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{32}{8}
\]
\[
x = 4
\]

Equation 25: \( 4x = 14 \)


- Divide both sides by 4:
\[
\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{14}{4}
\]
\[
x = 3.5
\]

Equation 26: \( 9x = -27 \)


- Divide both sides by 9:
\[
\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{-27}{9}
\]
\[
x = -3
\]

Equation 27: \( 6x = 31 \)


- Divide both sides by 6:
\[
\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{31}{6}
\]
\[
x = \frac{31}{6}
\]

Equation 28: \( 11x = 88 \)


- Divide both sides by 11:
\[
\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{88}{11}
\]
\[
x = 8
\]

Equation 29: \( 3y = 17 \)


- Divide both sides by 3:
\[
\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{17}{3}
\]
\[
y = \frac{17}{3}
\]

Equation 30: \( 3.5p = 10.5 \)


- Divide both sides by 3.5:
\[
\frac{3.5p}{3.5} = \frac{10.5}{3.5}
\]
\[
p = 3
\]

Equation 31: \( 2x + 1 = 13 \)


- Subtract 1 from both sides:
\[
2x + 1 - 1 = 13 - 1
\]
\[
2x = 12
\]
- Divide both sides by 2:
\[
\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{12}{2}
\]
\[
x = 6
\]

Equation 32: \( 5x - 2 = 23 \)


- Add 2 to both sides:
\[
5x - 2 + 2 = 23 + 2
\]
\[
5x = 25
\]
- Divide both sides by 5:
\[
\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{25}{5}
\]
\[
x = 5
\]

Equation 33: \( 8t + 3 = 43 \)


- Subtract 3 from both sides:
\[
8t + 3 - 3 = 43 - 3
\]
\[
8t = 40
\]
- Divide both sides by 8:
\[
\frac{8t}{8} = \frac{40}{8}
\]
\[
t = 5
\]

Equation 34: \( 4x + 10 = 42 \)


- Subtract 10 from both sides:
\[
4x + 10 - 10 = 42 - 10
\]
\[
4x = 32
\]
- Divide both sides by 4:
\[
\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{32}{4}
\]
\[
x = 8
\]

Equation 35: \( 7x - 2 = 65 \)


- Add 2 to both sides:
\[
7x - 2 + 2 = 65 + 2
\]
\[
7x = 67
\]
- Divide both sides by 7:
\[
\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{67}{7}
\]
\[
x = \frac{67}{7}
\]

Equation 36: \( 3y + 4 = -11 \)


- Subtract 4 from both sides:
\[
3y + 4 - 4 = -11 - 4
\]
\[
3y = -15
\]
- Divide both sides by 3:
\[
\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{-15}{3}
\]
\[
y = -5
\]

Equation 37: \( 6t + 7 = 28 \)


- Subtract 7 from both sides:
\[
6t + 7 - 7 = 28 - 7
\]
\[
6t = 21
\]
- Divide both sides by 6:
\[
\frac{6t}{6} = \frac{21}{6}
\]
\[
t = \frac{21}{6} = \frac{7}{2}
\]

Equation 38: \( 7x - 1 = 25 \)


- Add 1 to both sides:
\[
7x - 1 + 1 = 25 + 1
\]
\[
7x = 26
\]
- Divide both sides by 7:
\[
\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{26}{7}
\]
\[
x = \frac{26}{7}
\]

Equation 39: \( 3p - 4 = -2 \)


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

Equation 40: \( 12q + 3 = 36 \)


- Subtract 3 from both sides:
\[
12q + 3 - 3 = 36 - 3
\]
\[
12q = 33
\]
- Divide both sides by 12:
\[
\frac{12q}{12} = \frac{33}{12}
\]
\[
q = \frac{33}{12} = \frac{11}{4}
\]
