a) 135 - ( x + 37 ) = 80
( x + 37 ) = 135 - 80
( x + 37 ) = 55
x = 55 - 37
x = 18
b) ( x - 17 ) + 52 = 158
( x - 17 ) = 158 - 52
( x - 17 ) = 106
x = 106 + 17
x = 123
c) 541 + ( 218 - x ) = 735
218 - x = 735 - 541
218 - x = 194
x = 218 - 194
x = 24
d) 96 - 3.(x + 1) = 42
3.(x + 1)= 96 - 42
3.(x + 1) = 54
x + 1= 54:3
x + 1= 18
x = 18 - 1
x = 17
