36 - 2 k = 6 k + 20
3 \left(x - 10\right) = x
2 \left(x - 2\right) = x - 4
3 x + 2 \left( 3 x + 1\right) = 11

9 \left(x - 9\right) - \left(x + 54\right) = 63 - \left(x - 63\right)

A Payroll Officer has been told to distribute a bonus to the employees of a company worth 14\% of the company’s net income. Since the bonus is an expense to the company, it must be subtracted from the income to determine the net income. If the company has an income of \$120\,000 before the bonus, then the Payroll Officer must solve the following equation to find the bonus B:
B = 0.14 \left(120\,000 - B\right)
Solve the equation to find B, correct to two decimal places.

To solve the equation \dfrac{x}{4} = 8, you would first need to multiply both sides by what number?
Solve the following equations:
\dfrac{9}{n} = \dfrac{3}{4}
\dfrac{14 k - 76}{2} - 2 = 2 k
\dfrac{n}{45} = \dfrac{2}{15}
\dfrac{1}{n - 2} = \dfrac{1}{9}
\dfrac{1}{8} \left(2 - 6 x\right) = \dfrac{1}{3} \left(8 + 5 x\right)
\dfrac{4 n}{3} + \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{6 n - 5}{6}
\dfrac{1}{4 m + 4} + 2 = - \dfrac{1}{5}
\dfrac{10 x - 46}{2} + 2 = 2 x
x + \dfrac{5 x-1}{4} = 1
\dfrac{8 x - 2}{3} = \dfrac{6 x - 3}{4}
\dfrac{8 p - 4}{4} = \dfrac{7 p + 3}{5}
\dfrac{9 x}{3} + \dfrac{9 x}{2} = - 5
\dfrac{2}{5 x - 5} = \dfrac{- 5}{2 x + 1}
\dfrac{4}{5 w - 3} = \dfrac{- 5}{4 w + 2}
\dfrac{5 x}{4} - 6 = \dfrac{3 x}{9}
\dfrac{2 x}{3} - 2 = \dfrac{5 x}{2} + 4
\dfrac{4 m}{5} + \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{4 m - 3}{10}
\dfrac{x + 2}{2} + 3 = \dfrac{x + 3}{7}
\dfrac{y + 3}{3} + 2 = \dfrac{y + 5}{7}
When a number is added to both the numerator and denominator of \dfrac{1}{5}, the result is \dfrac{3}{7}.

A construction company has spent \$22\,500\,000 to develop new cranes, and wants to limit the cost of development and production of each crane to \$6000.
Given that the production cost of each crane is \$3000, the cost for development and production of x cranes is given by 3000 x + 22\,500\,000 dollars, and so the cost of each crane is \dfrac{3000 x + 22\,500\,000}{x} which we want to equal \$6000. Hence, find the number of cranes that must be sold.
