Решение:
- a) (x + 2) + x = 9
x + 2 + x = 9
2x + 2 = 9
2x = 9 - 2
2x = 7
x = 7 / 2
x = 3.5
- б) x + (7 + x) = 11
x + 7 + x = 11
2x + 7 = 11
2x = 11 - 7
2x = 4
x = 4 / 2
x = 2
- в) x + 2x - 5 = 40
3x - 5 = 40
3x = 40 + 5
3x = 45
x = 45 / 3
x = 15
- г) x + (x + 4) + x = 16
x + x + 4 + x = 16
3x + 4 = 16
3x = 16 - 4
3x = 12
x = 12 / 3
x = 4
- д) (х + 5) + (x + 5) = 21
x + 5 + x + 5 = 21
2x + 10 = 21
2x = 21 - 10
2x = 11
x = 11 / 2
x = 5.5
- e) 2(x - 8) = 20
2x - 16 = 20
2x = 20 + 16
2x = 36
x = 36 / 2
x = 18
Ответ: а) x = 3.5; б) x = 2; в) x = 15; г) x = 4; д) x = 5.5; e) x = 18.
