Answer:

To solve these equations with variables on each side, we'll follow the same general steps: move the variable terms to one side and the constant terms to the other side, then solve for \( x \), and finally check the solution. Let's solve each equation one by one.

1. \( 5x - 2 = 4x + 2 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( 4x \) from both sides:
\( 5x - 4x - 2 = 4x - 4x + 2 \)
\( x - 2 = 2 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Add \( 2 \) to both sides:
\( x - 2 + 2 = 2 + 2 \)
\( x = 4 \)

Check: Substitute \( x = 4 \) into the original equation:
Left side: \( 5(4) - 2 = 20 - 2 = 18 \)
Right side: \( 4(4) + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18 \)
Both sides are equal, so \( x = 4 \) is correct.

2. \( 3x + 5 = 2x + 10 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides:
\( 3x - 2x + 5 = 2x - 2x + 10 \)
\( x + 5 = 10 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Subtract \( 5 \) from both sides:
\( x + 5 - 5 = 10 - 5 \)
\( x = 5 \)

Check: Substitute \( x = 5 \) into the original equation:
Left side: \( 3(5) + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20 \)
Right side: \( 2(5) + 10 = 10 + 10 = 20 \)
Both sides are equal, so \( x = 5 \) is correct.

3. \( 6x + 3 = 2x + 11 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides:
\( 6x - 2x + 3 = 2x - 2x + 11 \)
\( 4x + 3 = 11 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Subtract \( 3 \) from both sides:
\( 4x + 3 - 3 = 11 - 3 \)
\( 4x = 8 \)

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by \( 4 \):
\( \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{8}{4} \)
\( x = 2 \)

Check: Substitute \( x = 2 \) into the original equation:
Left side: \( 6(2) + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15 \)
Right side: \( 2(2) + 11 = 4 + 11 = 15 \)
Both sides are equal, so \( x = 2 \) is correct.

4. \( 7x - 5 = 5x + 1 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( 5x \) from both sides:
\( 7x - 5x - 5 = 5x - 5x + 1 \)
\( 2x - 5 = 1 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Add \( 5 \) to both sides:
\( 2x - 5 + 5 = 1 + 5 \)
\( 2x = 6 \)

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by \( 2 \):
\( \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{6}{2} \)
\( x = 3 \)

Check: Substitute \( x = 3 \) into the original equation:
Left side: \( 7(3) - 5 = 21 - 5 = 16 \)
Right side: \( 5(3) + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16 \)
Both sides are equal, so \( x = 3 \) is correct.

5. \( 4x + 1 = 2x + 7 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides:
\( 4x - 2x + 1 = 2x - 2x + 7 \)
\( 2x + 1 = 7 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Subtract \( 1 \) from both sides:
\( 2x + 1 - 1 = 7 - 1 \)
\( 2x = 6 \)

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by \( 2 \):
\( \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{6}{2} \)
\( x = 3 \)

Check: Substitute \( x = 3 \) into the original equation:
Left side: \( 4(3) + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13 \)
Right side: \( 2(3) + 7 = 6 + 7 = 13 \)
Both sides are equal, so \( x = 3 \) is correct.

6. \( 8x - 1 = 3x + 14 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides:
\( 8x - 3x - 1 = 3x - 3x + 14 \)
\( 5x - 1 = 14 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Add \( 1 \) to both sides:
\( 5x - 1 + 1 = 14 + 1 \)
\( 5x = 15 \)

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by \( 5 \):
\( \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{15}{5} \)
\( x = 3 \)

Check: Substitute \( x = 3 \) into the original equation:
Left side: \( 8(3) - 1 = 24 - 1 = 23 \)
Right side: \( 3(3) + 14 = 9 + 14 = 23 \)
Both sides are equal, so \( x = 3 \) is correct.

7. \( 5x + 7 = 3x + 3 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides:
\( 5x - 3x + 7 = 3x - 3x + 3 \)
\( 2x + 7 = 3 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Subtract \( 7 \) from both sides:
\( 2x + 7 - 7 = 3 - 7 \)
\( 2x = -4 \)

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by \( 2 \):
\( \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} \)
\( x = -2 \)

Check: Substitute \( x = -2 \) into the original equation:
Left side: \( 5(-2) + 7 = -10 + 7 = -3 \)
Right side: \( 3(-2) + 3 = -6 + 3 = -3 \)
Both sides are equal, so \( x = -2 \) is correct.

8. \( 2x - 6 = 7x + 4 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides:
\( 2x - 2x - 6 = 7x - 2x + 4 \)
\( -6 = 5x + 4 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Subtract \( 4 \) from both sides:
\( -6 - 4 = 5x + 4 - 4 \)
\( -10 = 5x \)

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by \( 5 \):
\( \frac{-10}{5} = \frac{5x}{5} \)
\( x = -2 \)

Check: Substitute \( x = -2 \) into the original equation:
Left side: \( 2(-2) - 6 = -4 - 6 = -10 \)
Right side: \( 7(-2) + 4 = -14 + 4 = -10 \)
Both sides are equal, so \( x = -2 \) is correct.

9. \( 9x - 10 = 5x + 6 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( 5x \) from both sides:
\( 9x - 5x - 10 = 5x - 5x + 6 \)
\( 4x - 10 = 6 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Add \( 10 \) to both sides:
\( 4x - 10 + 10 = 6 + 10 \)
\( 4x = 16 \)

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by \( 4 \):
\( \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{16}{4} \)
\( x = 4 \)

Check: Substitute \( x = 4 \) into the original equation:
Left side: \( 9(4) - 10 = 36 - 10 = 26 \)
Right side: \( 5(4) + 6 = 20 + 6 = 26 \)
Both sides are equal, so \( x = 4 \) is correct.

10. \( 10x + 2 = 8x + 12 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( 8x \) from both sides:
\( 10x - 8x + 2 = 8x - 8x + 12 \)
\( 2x + 2 = 12 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Subtract \( 2 \) from both sides:
\( 2x + 2 - 2 = 12 - 2 \)
\( 2x = 10 \)

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by \( 2 \):
\( \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{10}{2} \)
\( x = 5 \)

Check: Substitute \( x = 5 \) into the original equation:
Left side: \( 10(5) + 2 = 50 + 2 = 52 \)
Right side: \( 8(5) + 12 = 40 + 12 = 52 \)
Both sides are equal, so \( x = 5 \) is correct.

11. \( x + 9 = 5x - 3 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( x \) from both sides:
\( x - x + 9 = 5x - x - 3 \)
\( 9 = 4x - 3 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Add \( 3 \) to both sides:
\( 9 + 3 = 4x - 3 + 3 \)
\( 12 = 4x \)

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by \( 4 \):
\( \frac{12}{4} = \frac{4x}{4} \)
\( x = 3 \)

Check: Substitute \( x = 3 \) into the original equation:
Left side: \( 3 + 9 = 12 \)
Right side: \( 5(3) - 3 = 15 - 3 = 12 \)
Both sides are equal, so \( x = 3 \) is correct.

12. \( 4x - 8 = 6x + 2 \)

Step 1: Move variable terms to one side

Subtract \( 4x \) from both sides:
\( 4x - 4x - 8 = 6x - 4x + 2 \)
\( -8 = 2x + 2 \)

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Subtract \( 2 \) from both sides:
\( -8 - 2 = 2x + 2 - 2 \)
\( -10 = 2x \)

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by \( 2 \):
\( \frac{-10}{2} = \frac{2x}{2} \)
\( x = -5 \) Wait, no—wait, let's check again. Wait, \( -10 = 2x \) → \( x = \frac{-10}{2} = -5 \)? Wait, no, wait:

Wait, original equation: \( 4x - 8 = 6x + 2 \)

Subtract \( 4x \): \( -8 = 2x + 2 \)

Subtract \( 2 \): \( -10 = 2x \)

Divide by \( 2 \): \( x = -5 \)? Wait, but let's check:

Left side: \( 4(-5) - 8 = -20 - 8 = -28 \)

Right side: \( 6(-5) + 2 = -30 + 2 = -28 \). Oh, right! So \( x = -5 \).
