Question

Select the correct answer. What is the solution for x in the equation? 29 + 15x = -x − 3

Answer 1

First of all, move the terms so that all those who involve
`x` are on one side, and all the costants are on the other:

`29 + 15x = -x - 3 \iff 15x+x=-29-3`

Sum like terms:

`15x+x=-29-3 \iff 16x=-32`

Divide both sides by 16:

`x=-2`
