Basic Linear Equations Practice

1. Solve for x: 3x - 9 = 0

2. Solve for y: 4y + 16 = 64

3. Solve for z: -2z + 8 = 10

4. Solve for w: 5w - 15 = -10

5. Solve for v: \(\frac{1}{2}v + 7 = 9\)

6. Solve for p: 0.3p - 1.2 = 1.8

7. Solve for k: 3k + 2 = -4

Solutions

Solution 1:

Add 9 to both sides: 3x = 9
Divide by 3: x = 3

Solution 2:

Subtract 16 from both sides: 4y = 48
Divide by 4: y = 12

Solution 3:

Add 2z to both sides: 8 = 2z + 10
Subtract 10 from both sides: -2 = 2z
Divide by 2: z = -1

Solution 4:

Add 15 to both sides: 5w = 5
Divide by 5: w = 1

Solution 5:

Subtract 7 from both sides: \(\frac{1}{2}v = 2\)
Multiply by 2: v = 4

Solution 6:

Add 1.2 to both sides: 0.3p = 3
Divide by 0.3: p = 10

Solution 7:

Subtract 2 from both sides: 3k = -6
Divide by 3: k = -2
