Answer:
1. x= -4
2. x= 26/8 or 13/4 (reduced form)
3. s= 4
4. s= -2
5. q= -3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. subtract the 6 to the right side and then divide both sides by 7
2. subtract the 4 to the right side and then divide both sides by 8
3. simply the "s" terms to get 8+2s=16, then subtract the 8 to the right side and then divide both sides by 2
4. simply the "s" terms to get 6-6s=18, then subtract the 6 to the right side and then divide both sides by -6
5. add the 5q to the 2q on the left to get 7q+18= -3, then subtract the 18 to the right side and then divide both sides by 7
