-20 - x = 104

A number added to -5 is -7

-5 + x = -7

Twice a number gives 108

2x = 108

The sum of 3,4,and a number amounts to 10. Find the number.

3 + 4 + x =16 x =9

Three times the difference of some number and 5 amounts to the quotient of 108 and 12. Find the number.

3(x - 5) = 108/12 x=8

Thirty less a number is equal to the product of 3 and the sum of the number and 6. Find the number.

30 - x = 3(x + 6) X = 3
