Solve the equation 4x + 29 = 5 - 8(x+6)

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

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
