17. Solve the equations:

4 (x - 3) + 5 = 1

A. x = 3

B. x = - 1/4

C. x = - 2

D. x = 2

96 = - 6 (-4 - 3y)

A. x = 2

B. x = 4

C. x = - 2

D. x = - 4

-4y + 8 = 4 (2y - 2) - 2 (-16 + 8y)

A. y = - 4

B. y = 4

C. y = - 2

D. y = - 6

1) 4 (x-3) + 5=1

4x-4*3+5=1

4x=1+12-5

4x=8 (divide by 4)

x=2

answer is D

2) 96=-6 (-4-3y)

96=24+18y

-18y=24-96 (divide by - 18)

y=-72 / (-18)

y=4

answer is B

3) - 4y+8=4 (2y-2) - 2 (-16+8y)

-4y+8=8y-8+32-16y

-4y+8y=24-8

4y=16 (divide by 4)

y=4

answer is B

1) D x=2

2) B x=4

3) B y=4
