  1. Get the x values on one side, and the constants on the other

    1)

    5/6x - 2 = -61/14 + 4/7x

    Subtract 4/7x from each side

    5/6x - 4/7x - 2 = -61/14

    Add 2 to each side

    5/6x - 4/7x  = -61/14 + 2

    Now, you need to combine the fractions

    5/6x * 7/7 - 4/7x * 6/6 = -61/14 + 2*14/14

    35/42x - 24/42x = -61/14 + 28/14

    11/42 x = 33/14

    Now divide each side by 11/42

    x = (33/14) / (11/42)

    x = 33/14 * 42/11

    x = 9

    The others are solved in similar ways....
