Let's solve each of the given equations step-by-step:

Equation 1: 2 x − a = 4 − 5 x
To solve for x , we'll first get all the terms involving x on one side:
2 x + 5 x = a + 4
Combine like terms:
7 x = a + 4
Now, solve for x by dividing both sides by 7:
x = 7 a + 4 ​

Equation 2: 3 ( x − a ) = 2 ( 4 − x )
Distribute on both sides:
3 x − 3 a = 8 − 2 x
Add 2 x to both sides:
3 x + 2 x − 3 a = 8
Combine like terms:
5 x − 3 a = 8
Rearrange and solve for x :
5 x = 3 a + 8


x = 5 3 a + 8 ​

Equation 3: 2 ( x + a ) = 8 − a + x
Distribute 2 on the left-hand side:
2 x + 2 a = 8 − a + x
Get all x terms on one side and constants on the other:
2 x − x = 8 − a − 2 a
Combine terms:
x = 8 − 3 a

Equation 4: 3 ( x − a ) = 4 − 5 a + x
Distribute 3 on the left-hand side:
3 x − 3 a = 4 − 5 a + x
Bring all x terms to one side:
3 x − x = 4 − 5 a + 3 a
Combine terms:
2 x = 4 − 2 a
Solve for x :
x = 2 4 − 2 a ​


x = 2 − a
Each equation involves solving for x in terms of a , using fundamental algebraic operations such as distributing, combining like terms, and isolating x on one side. Understanding these concepts is crucial in high school algebra.

We solved four algebraic equations involving the variable x and the parameter a, demonstrating techniques like distribution and combining like terms. The solutions we found for x in terms of a are: x = (a + 4)/7, x = (3a + 8)/5, x = 8 - 3a, and x = 2 - a. Mastering these methods will strengthen your understanding of algebra.
