1. x + 8 = -52 Subtract 8 on both sides
x + 8 - 8 = -52 - 8
x = -60
2. y - 17 = -37 Add 17 on both sides
y - 17 + 17 = -37 + 17
y = -20
3. -12 + k = 18 Add 12 on both sides
-12 + k + 12 = 18 + 12
k = 30
4. 5m = -20 Divide 5 on both sides
m = -4
5. [tex]\frac{x}{9} = 3[/tex] Multiply 9 on both sides
x = 27
6. [tex]\frac{4}{5} z = 16[/tex] Multiply [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] on both sides
z = [tex]\frac{80}{4}[/tex]
z = 20
