📌 General Strategy for Solving Linear Equations:

1. Simplify both sides (combine like terms, distribute if needed).
2. Move all variable terms to one side and constants to the other.
3. Isolate the variable by dividing/multiplying.
4. Check your solution by plugging it back in.

## 🔢 Problem-by-Problem Solutions:

---

1. 4x – 5 = 3x + 17

Step 1: Subtract 3x from both sides
→ x – 5 = 17

Step 2: Add 5 to both sides
→ x = 22

✔ Answer: x = 22

---

2. 3x – 2 = 15x – 10

Step 1: Subtract 3x from both sides
→ -2 = 12x – 10

Step 2: Add 10 to both sides
→ 8 = 12x

Step 3: Divide by 12
→ x = 8/12 = 2/3

✔ Answer: x = 2/3

---

3. 8x – 12 = 4x + 17

Step 1: Subtract 4x from both sides
→ 4x – 12 = 17

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides
→ 4x = 29

Step 3: Divide by 4
→ x = 29/4

✔ Answer: x = 29/4

---

4. –8x – 81 = 9x + 5x + 1

*(Note: 9x + 5x = 14x)*

So: –8x – 81 = 14x + 1

Step 1: Add 8x to both sides
→ –81 = 22x + 1

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides
→ –82 = 22x

Step 3: Divide by 22
→ x = –82/22 = –41/11

✔ Answer: x = –41/11

---

5. –6(2 – 3x) = 1 + 20x – 3x

*(Simplify right side: 1 + 17x)*

Left side: –12 + 18x

So: –12 + 18x = 1 + 17x

Step 1: Subtract 17x from both sides
→ –12 + x = 1

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides
→ x = 13

✔ Answer: x = 13

---

6. 8x – 3(x + 3) = 3(2x – 1)

Left: 8x – 3x – 9 = 5x – 9
Right: 6x – 3

So: 5x – 9 = 6x – 3

Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides
→ –9 = x – 3

Step 2: Add 3 to both sides
→ –6 = x

✔ Answer: x = –6

---

7. –3(2x + 5) = 3(1 – 4x) – 38

Left: –6x – 15
Right: 3 – 12x – 38 = –12x – 35

So: –6x – 15 = –12x – 35

Step 1: Add 12x to both sides
→ 6x – 15 = –35

Step 2: Add 15 to both sides
→ 6x = –20

Step 3: Divide by 6
→ x = –20/6 = –10/3

✔ Answer: x = –10/3

---

8. 5(4x – 3) = 4(x – 4)

Left: 20x – 15
Right: 4x – 16

So: 20x – 15 = 4x – 16

Step 1: Subtract 4x
→ 16x – 15 = –16

Step 2: Add 15
→ 16x = –1

Step 3: Divide by 16
→ x = –1/16

✔ Answer: x = –1/16

---

9. 2(x + 5) + 7(x + 3) = 2x + 19

Left: 2x + 10 + 7x + 21 = 9x + 31
Right: 2x + 19

So: 9x + 31 = 2x + 19

Step 1: Subtract 2x
→ 7x + 31 = 19

Step 2: Subtract 31
→ 7x = –12

Step 3: Divide by 7
→ x = –12/7

✔ Answer: x = –12/7

---

10. 3x = 1/2 x – 1/2

Multiply entire equation by 2 to eliminate fractions:

→ 6x = x – 1

Step 1: Subtract x
→ 5x = –1

Step 2: Divide by 5
→ x = –1/5

✔ Answer: x = –1/5

---

11. 1/2 x + 2 = 3/4 x – 1

Multiply entire equation by 4 to eliminate denominators:

→ 2x + 8 = 3x – 4

Step 1: Subtract 2x
→ 8 = x – 4

Step 2: Add 4
→ x = 12

✔ Answer: x = 12

---

12. 1/3 x = 1/6 x – 2x

First, combine terms on the right:

→ 1/3 x = (1/6 – 2)x = (1/6 – 12/6)x = –11/6 x

Now: 1/3 x = –11/6 x

Add 11/6 x to both sides:

→ 1/3 x + 11/6 x = 0

Convert 1/3 to 2/6:

→ 2/6 x + 11/6 x = 13/6 x = 0

→ x = 0

✔ Answer: x = 0

## 💡 Tips for Success:

- Always simplify both sides first.
- Use LCD to eliminate fractions early.
- Double-check by plugging your answer back into the original equation.
- If you get “x = x” → infinite solutions; if contradiction → no solution.
