Solve the equation:
-5x = 25

• x = 20

• x = -20

• x = -5

• x = 5

Solve the equation
-8x - 8 + 3(x - 2) = -3x + 2

• x = -8

• x = 8

• x = 2

• x = -2

x + 12 = 20

• x = 32

• x = -32

• x = 8

• x = -8

Solve the equation below:

• k = 152

• k = 176

• k = 5

• k = 27

3x - 5 = -26

• x=-21

• x=21

• x=-7

• x=61

Solve for k:
3k + 5 = 23

• k = 4

• k = 5

• k = 6

• k = 7

Solve: -7(z - 6) = -70

• 16

• -16

• 8

• -1/2

Solve:
2(4x - 3) - 8 = 4 + 2x

• x = 5/3

• x = 3

• x = 1

• x = 2
