\(\begin{align}
4(\text{x} + 8) - 4 = 34 - 2\text{x} \\
\end{align} \)

\(\begin{align}
\frac{2}{3}(9 + \text{x})  = -5(4 - \text{x}) \\

\(-3(\text{x} + 4) + 15 = 6 - 4\text{x}\)

\(10 + 4\text{x} = 5(\text{x} - 6) + 33\)

\(\text{x} - 9 = 8(2\text{x} + 3) - 18\)

\(-6(\text{x} - 1) - 7 = -7\text{x} + 2\)

\(\large\frac{1}{10}\small(\text{x} + 11) = -2(8 - \text{x})\)

\(-(4 - \text{x}) = \large\frac{3}{4}\small(\text{x} - 6)\)

\(-8(8 - \text{x}) = \large\frac{4}{5}\small(\text{x} + 10)\)

\(\large\frac{1}{2}\small(16 - \text{x}) = -12(\text{x} + 7)\)
