Equations with pronumerals on both sides

Solve a + 3 = -11

• a = -14

• a = 8

• a = 10
• a = 5

Answer explanation

-3 from both sides of the equals sign

Solve a + 3 = 3a - 11

• a=7

• a=10

• a=3

• a=-3

Answer explanation

-a from both sides of the equals sign

+11 to both sides of the equals sign

Solve 2b - 5 = 12b

• b = -0.5
• b = 2
• b = 0.5
• b = -2

Answer explanation

-2b from both sides of the equals sign

Divide both sides by 10

Solve 2b - 5 = 3b + 7

• b=-12

• b=12

• b=-2

• b=2

Solve 4c + 9 = 2c - 3

• c=-6

• c=6

• c=-1

• c=1

Solve 9 - 2t = 10t + 3

• t = 10

• t = -4

• t = 1/2

• t = 2

Solve 5n + 9 = 3n - 2

• n=-5

• n=-11/2

• n=-2

• n=2

Solve 2 (x + 3) = 10

• x = 2
• x = 8
• x = 4
• x = 5

Answer explanation

Expand the brackets by multiplying 2 to each term inside the brackets.

-6 from both sides of the equals sign

Divide both sides of the equals sign by 2

Solve 4 (t - 1) = 5t

• t = 0
• t = -4
• t = 1
• t = -5

Answer explanation

Expand the brackets by multiplying 4 with each term inside the brackets.

Subtract 4t from both sides of the equals sign.

Solve 4 (y + 5) = 3 (10 - y)

• y = 10/7

• y = -7

• y = 30

• y = -20
