Mixed Linear Algebra Problems

Linear equations:

A) 3x - 5(6 - 2x) = 4(x - 8) + 3

B) (w - 3)/8 - (5 - w)/4 = (4w - 1)/8 - 1

C) a = 1 /2(b1 + b2)

For each formula express y as a function of x:

D) y -3 = 1 / 3(x-4)

Solve for the specified variable:

E) xy + 5 = x + 7 for x

Solve the equation. Round answers to three decimal places:

F) 457(36x - 99) = 32(28x - 239)

Find y given that x = 3:

G) y = -3x - 6

Find x given that y = 2, z = -3, and w = 4:

H) z(x - y) = y(x + 5)
