x= -8
Step 1. You have to distribute -5 through the parentheses and you will get -5x-35=3x+ 29
Step 2. Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign and get -5x-3x- 35= 29 Part 2. Move constant to the right-hand side and change its sign -5x-3x=29+35
Step 3. Collect the like terms -8x=29+35
Part 2. Add the numbers -8x=64
Step 4. Divide both side of the equation by -8
