Solving an Equation by Multiplication/ Division: Combining like terms

Question 1

Find the value of the parameter X

$$ x+3-8x=4+3-x $$

Question 2

Solve for X:

$17.5-18x-5.5x=19.2+14\frac{1}{2}-5x$

Question 3

Solve for X:

$22x-\frac{1}{2}+16\frac{1}{2}=14.5x-12$

Question 4

Solve for X:

$$ -5x+20-3x=40+2-6x $$
