Learning Task 4: A. Find the value of x that will make the equality true or correct.

• 1. x + 2 = 8; x = 6
• 2. 3x = 12; x = 4
• 3. 2x - 3 = 1; x = 2
• 4. 3(x + 5) = 18; x = 1
• 5. 5x + 8 = - 7​; x = -3

======================

1. x + 2 = 8

• x = 8 - 2
• x = 6

---------

2. 3x = 12

• x = 12/3
• x = 4

---------

3. 2x - 3 = 1

• 2x = 1 + 3
• 2x = 4
• x = 4/2
• x = 2

---------

4. 3(x + 5) = 18

• 3x + 15 = 18
• 3x = 18 - 15
• 3x = 3
• x = 3/3
• x = 1

---------

5. 5x + 8 = - 7

• 5x = -7 - 8
• 5x = -15
• x = -15/5
• x = -3
