Sure! I'll try!

2x + 29 +11 = x + 28

First, you would put like terms ( the x ) on the same side.

2x + 29 + 11 = x + 28

-2x -2x

Giving you: 29 + 11 = -3x + 28

Then, you would add 29 and 11 together to get 40.

Next, you'd put the 28 on the other side.

40 = -3x + 28

-28 - 28

Giving you: 12 = -3x
