    -x+4=x+6

    -2x=2

    x=-1

    5n+7=7(n+1)-2n

    5n+7=7n+7-2n

    5n+7=5n+7

    n=n, anything goes.

    -4(p+2)+8=2(p-1)-7p+15

    -4p-8+8=2p-2-7p+15

    -4p=-5p+13

    p=13

    9/25 = p/125

    125 * 9/25 = p

    p = 5 * 9 = 45

    1. add -x to right side (4=2x+6)

    subtract 6 (-2=2x)

    divide by 2 (x=-1)

    2. distribute 7 on right side to n+1 to get 5n+7=7n+7-2n

    add like terms to get 5n+7=5n+7

    n can equal any number

    3.distribute to get -4p-8+8=2p-2-7p+15

    add like terms -4p= -5p-13

    add 13 to left and add 4p to the right to get 13=-p

    p=-13

    4. are you asking to evaluate problem 3 with with nine? if so:

    -4(9+2)+8=2(9-1)-7(9)+15=

    -36=-32
