To solve the given equation $7x + 5.5 = 19.5$, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Eliminate the constant term from the left side by subtracting 5.5 from both sides of the equation.
• Step 2: Simplify the equation after subtraction to isolate the term with $x$.
• Step 3: Use division to solve for $x$.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Subtract 5.5 from both sides.

We have:
$7x + 5.5 - 5.5 = 19.5 - 5.5$

This simplifies to:
$7x = 14$

Step 2: Divide both sides by 7 to solve for $x$.

So, we divide by 7:
$\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{14}{7}$

This simplifies to:
$x = 2$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $x = 2$.

  $3x = 15$
• Next, divide both sides of the equation by $3$ to solve for $x$:
  $\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{15}{3}$
  This results in:
  $x = 5$

Therefore, the solution to the equation is $x = 5$.

• Step 1: Isolate the variable $x$
  Start by getting all terms involving $x$ on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting $x$ from both sides:
  $x + 5 - x = 11x - x$
• This simplifies to:
  $5 = 10x$
• Step 2: Solve for $x$
  Now, divide both sides of the equation by 10 to solve for $x$:
  $\frac{5}{10} = \frac{10x}{10}$
• This further simplifies to:
  $x = \frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the solution to the equation $x + 5 = 11x$ is $x = \frac{1}{2}$.

Given equation:
$-3x + 8 = 7x - 12$

• Step 1: Move all $x$-terms to one side by adding $3x$ to both sides.
  $-3x + 3x + 8 = 7x + 3x - 12$
  This simplifies to:
  $8 = 10x - 12$
• Step 2: Move constant terms to the opposite side by adding $12$ to both sides.
  $8 + 12 = 10x - 12 + 12$
  Which simplifies to:
  $20 = 10x$
• Step 3: Solve for $x$ by dividing both sides by $10$.
  $\frac{20}{10} = \frac{10x}{10}$
  This gives us:
  $x = 2$

Therefore, the solution to the equation is $x = 2$.

First, we arrange the two sections so that the right side contains the values with the coefficient x and the left side the numbers without the x

Let's remember to maintain the plus and minus signs accordingly when we move terms between the sections.

First, we move a$5x$ to the right section and then the 22 to the left side. We obtain the following equation:

$-8-22=10x-5x$

We subtract both sides accordingly and obtain the following equation:

$-30=5x$

We divide both sections by 5 and obtain:

$-6=x$

Let's first arrange the equation so that on the left-hand side we have the terms with the coefficient $b$ and on the right-hand side the numbers without the coefficient $b$.

Remember that when we move terms across the equals sign, the plus and minus signs will change accordingly:

$2b-3b=5-4$

Let's now solve the subtraction exercise on both sides:

$-1b=1$

Finally, we can divide both sides by -1 to find our answer:

$b=-1$

To solve this problem, we need to find $x$ in the equation:

$20 + 20x - 3x = 88$

Step 1: Combine like terms on the left-hand side of the equation. The terms involving $x$ are $20x$ and $-3x$.

$20x - 3x = 17x$

Thus, the equation becomes:

$20 + 17x = 88$

Step 2: Isolate the $x$-related terms by moving the constant term to the right-hand side. To do this, subtract 20 from both sides:

$17x = 88 - 20$

$17x = 68$

Step 3: Solve for $x$ by dividing both sides of the equation by 17:

$x = \frac{68}{17}$

$x = 4$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $x = 4$.

To solve the equation $2 + 3a + 4 = 0$, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Combine the constant terms on the left side.
  The terms $2$ and $4$ can be combined to get $6$.
  Hence, the equation becomes $3a + 6 = 0$.
• Step 2: Isolate the term with the variable $a$.
  Subtract $6$ from both sides to get $3a = -6$.
• Step 3: Solve for $a$ by dividing both sides by the coefficient of $a$, which is $3$.
  Thus, $a = \frac{-6}{3} = -2$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $a = -2$.

To solve the problem, we will use the following steps:

• Step 1: Simplify the equation by combining like terms.
• Step 2: Isolate the variable $m$ using algebraic methods.
• Step 3: Solve for $m$ and verify the solution.

Let's begin:

Step 1: Simplify the equation $m + 3m - 17m + 6 = -20$.
Combine the coefficients of $m$:

$(1 + 3 - 17)m + 6 = -20$

This simplifies to:

$-13m + 6 = -20$

Step 2: Isolate $m$.
Subtract 6 from both sides:

$-13m + 6 - 6 = -20 - 6$

Simplifies to:

$-13m = -26$

Step 3: Solve for $m$ by dividing both sides by -13:

$m = \frac{-26}{-13}$

The division simplifies to:

$m = 2$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $m = 2$, which corresponds to choice 2 in the given options.

To solve the equation $4a + 5 - 24 + a = -2a$, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Start by combining like terms on the left side of the equation:

$4a + a + 5 - 24 = -2a$

This simplifies to:

$5a - 19 = -2a$

• Step 2: Move all terms involving $a$ to one side of the equation and constant terms to the other side:

Add $2a$ to both sides to collect all terms with $a$:

$5a + 2a = 19$

This simplifies to:

$7a = 19$

• Step 3: Solve for $a$ by dividing both sides by 7:

$a = \frac{19}{7}$

Thus, the value of $a$ is $\frac{19}{7}$, which can be written as a mixed number:

$a = 2\frac{5}{7}$.

Upon verifying with the given choices, the correct answer is choice 1: $2\frac{5}{7}$.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
• Step 2: Isolate the variable $x$ on one side of the equation.
• Step 3: Solve for $x$ and simplify the result.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The left side of the equation is $800 - 2x - x$. Combine the terms with $x$:
This becomes $800 - 3x = 803$.

Step 2: Subtract 800 from both sides to isolate the term with $x$:
$800 - 3x - 800 = 803 - 800$
This simplifies to $-3x = 3$.

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3 to solve for $x$:
$x = \frac{3}{-3}$
Thus, $x = -1$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $x = -1$.

To solve the equation $14x - 6 = 134$, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Isolate the term involving $x$. We do this by adding 6 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the constant term:

$14x - 6 + 6 = 134 + 6$

This simplifies to:

$14x = 140$

• Step 2: Solve for $x$ by dividing both sides by 14 (the coefficient of $x$):

$\frac{14x}{14} = \frac{140}{14}$

This gives us:

$x = 10$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $x = 10$.
