1.  a/9 + 5 = 12
a		 2.  28 = d/3 - 3
d		 3.  e/8 - 16 = 4
e		 4.  43 = f/3 + 18
f
5.  56 = g/6 + 29
g		 6.  h/7 - 19 = 12
h		 7. i/5 - 2.9 = 5.6
i		 8.  29.3 = L/9 + 19.7
L
9.  9m - 2.3 = 2.65
m		 10.  n/6 - 11.8 = 9.6
n		 11.  29.3 = o/7 - 17.7
o
12.  26.36 = p/6 + 19.76
p		 13.  13.7 = 4s - 29.8
s		 14.  t/7 + 0.93 = 2.4
t
15.  u/8 + 29.8 = 41.3
u		 16.  1.06 =  w/7 - 0.97
