How do you do these probelms?

1. 7p+11=-31
2. 12-7y=-2
3. 2z-4-z=4
4. 10-5h+2=32
5. 7k-8k=1
6. 10-d=19
7. 9x+5-4x=-20
8. 3-4t+11=2
9. 5b+6-6b+2=19

1. Subtract 11 from both sides, to get rid of the 11. Then solve for p.

7p+11=-31
-11 -11
7p=-42
Then divide by 7 to get rid of the 7.
p=-6
Does that help?

7p+11=-31

7p = -31 - 11
7p = -42
p = -6

Follow this pattern for solving the rest of the problems.

Ms. Sue's response is more clear than mine. My computer didn't put some numbers in the right spot.

To solve these problems, follow these steps:

1. Solve for the variable on one side of the equation:
- Add or subtract the same value from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable.
- Perform the necessary operations to simplify each equation.

2. Check your solution by substituting the value you found back into the equation to ensure it satisfies the equation.

Now let's solve each problem one by one:

1. 7p + 11 = -31
- Subtract 11 from both sides: 7p = -42
- Divide both sides by 7: p = -6

2. 12 - 7y = -2
- Subtract 12 from both sides: -7y = -14
- Divide both sides by -7 (or multiply by -1): y = 2

3. 2z - 4 - z = 4
- Combine like terms on the left side: z - 4 = 4
- Add 4 to both sides: z = 8

4. 10 - 5h + 2 = 32
- Combine like terms on the left side: -5h + 12 = 32
- Subtract 12 from both sides: -5h = 20
- Divide both sides by -5 (or multiply by -1): h = -4

5. 7k - 8k = 1
- Combine like terms: -k = 1
- Multiply both sides by -1: k = -1

6. 10 - d = 19
- Subtract 10 from both sides: -d = 9
- Multiply both sides by -1: d = -9

7. 9x + 5 - 4x = -20
- Combine like terms: 5x + 5 = -20
- Subtract 5 from both sides: 5x = -25
- Divide both sides by 5: x = -5

8. 3 - 4t + 11 = 2
- Combine like terms: -4t + 14 = 2
- Subtract 14 from both sides: -4t = -12
- Divide both sides by -4 (or multiply by -1): t = 3

9. 5b + 6 - 6b + 2 = 19
- Combine like terms: -b + 8 = 19
- Subtract 8 from both sides: -b = 11
- Multiply both sides by -1: b = -11

These are the solutions to each problem. Make sure to double-check your answers by plugging them back into the original equations to ensure they satisfy the equations.
