Problem 1Difficulty: Hard
Which number makes 2(d + 5) - 3(d - 1) + 4 = 9 true for d?
Solution & Explanation:Distribute and combine like terms to get -d + 17 = 9. Subtract 17 from both sides to get -d = -8. Divide by -1 to get d = 8.
Problem 2Difficulty: Hard
Find c if 7 - 4(c - 3) + 3(c + 2) = 15.
Solution & Explanation:Distribute and combine like terms to get -c + 25 = 15. Subtract 25 from both sides to get -c = -10. Divide by -1 to get c = 10.
Problem 3Difficulty: Hard
What is the value of r in the equation 3(r + 4) - 2(r + 1) + 5 = 18?
Solution & Explanation:Distribute and combine like terms to get r + 15 = 18. Subtract 15 from both sides to get r = 3.
