Work out all problems on another piece of paper.
Simplify the expression.
1. 2x + 5 – 3x + 7
2. -2(7x – 3)
3. 4(3x – 7)
4. 9( 7 – 2x) + 4(x – 5)
5. -2 – 7x – 4x – 3
6. -5(2x + 1) – 5x – 1
For problems 7 – 12, solve the equation.
7. 3x – 6 = 21
8. 2x + 9 = 5

9. 17x + 34 = 6x + 56
10. 7x – 15 = 7(x – 3)
12. 4x + 7 = 4(x – 2) + 15
11. 9x + 23 = –7x – 89
13. Cody wants to save $380 for a new digital camera. He has saved $120 and earns $6.25 an hour
