Simplifying Expressions and Solving Equations and Inequalities
Simplify the following expressions:
16. 4[x - 2(x - 3)]
17. 5[2x - (x + 3)] - (4 - x)
Solve the following equations & inequalities for x:
18. 7 - 5(x - 3) + 4 = 2 + 3(x + 4)
19. (x + 2) / 3 = (x - 1)/4
20. 2x - 6 > 4(-3 + x)
21. -4x + 6 -3x + 4 < 3(4 + x) - 6
