Practice Solving Linear Equations in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

Using inverse operations in reverse order to isolate the variable and find its exact numerical value.

Undo what's done to x by doing the opposite: if x + 5, subtract 5.

Example 1

easy
Solve 3x + 7 = 22.

Example 2

medium
Solve 2(x - 3) + 4 = 3x - 8.

Example 3

medium
Solve 2(3x - 4) = 5x + 6.

Example 4

easy
Solve 5x - 3 = 12.

Example 5

hard
Solve \frac{2x + 1}{3} = \frac{x - 2}{2}.
