    • D x = 25

    Subtract 7 from both sides: x = 11.

  8. Solve: 3x = 6

    • A x = 18
    • B x = 3
    • C x = 2
    • D x = 1

    Divide both sides by 3: x = 2.

  9. Solve: x ÷ 3 = 2

    • A x = 6
    • B x = −1
    • C x = 9
    • D x = 5

    Multiply both sides by 3: x = 6.

  10. Which value of x makes x + 6 > 10 true?

    • A x = 5
    • B x = 4
    • C x = 3
    • D x = 0

    5 + 6 = 11, which is greater than 10.

  11. Solve: x − 12 = 10

    • A x = 12
    • B x = 22
    • C x = 23
    • D x = −2

    Add 12 to both sides: x = 22.

  12. Solve: 11x = 22

    • A x = 2
    • B x = 11
    • C x = 3
    • D x = 242

    Divide both sides by 11: x = 2.

  13. Solve: x + 5 = 13

    • A x = 5
    • B x = 18
    • C x = 9
    • D x = 8

    Subtract 5 from both sides: x = 8.

  14. Solve: x + 6 = 11

    • A x = 5
    • B x = 6
    • C x = 17
    • D x = 4

    Subtract 6 from both sides: x = 5.

  15. Solve: 9x = 81

    • A x = 729
    • B x = 10
    • C x = 72
    • D x = 9

    Divide both sides by 9: x = 9.

  16. Solve: x − 10 = 4

    • A x = −6
    • B x = 10
    • C x = 14
    • D x = 15

    Add 10 to both sides: x = 14.

  17. Solve: x ÷ 7 = 6

    • A x = 42
    • B x = 13
    • C x = 49
    • D x = −1

  18. Solve: x − 3 = 8

    • A x = 12
    • B x = 3
    • C x = 11
    • D x = 5

    Add 3 to both sides: x = 11.

  19. Solve: x ÷ 10 = 5

    • A x = 0.5
    • B x = 15
    • C x = −5
    • D x = 50

    Multiply both sides by 10: x = 50.
