To solve an equation for x we will try to isolate x. Hence, first step is to use the distributive property. Therefore,
4x + 29 = 5 - 8(x+6)
4x + 29 = 5 - 8x - 48
4x + 29 = - 43 -8x Combine the like terms.
4x + 29 + 8x = -43 Add 8x to each sides of the equation.
12x + 29 = -43
12x = -43 - 29 Subtract 29 from each sides.
12x = -72
So, x =- 6
<h3>−2x + 14 = 12</h3>
<em>Subtract</em><em> 14 </em><em>from both sides.</em>
<h3>−2x = 12 − 14</h3>
<em>Subtract </em><em>14</em><em> from </em><em>12 </em><em>to get </em><em>−2.</em>
<h3>−2x = −2</h3>
<em>Divide both sides by</em><em> −2.</em>
<h3>x= -2/-2</h3>
<em>Divide </em><em>−2</em><em> by </em><em>−2</em><em> to get 1.</em>
<h3>x = 1</h3>
