Question

Two-Step Equation

solve for x

Answer 1

To start, move the 29 to the other side of the equation:
42-29=-x/7

Simplify:
13=-x/7

Now, do 13 times -7, to get -91

X is -91

Answer 2

x=-91

Explanation:

So to solve, 42= -x/7+29 we first have to simplify both sides:

42= -1/7x+29

Then we have to flip the equation:

-1/7x+29=42

Okay so now we subtract 29 from both sides:

-1/7x=13

Now we Multiply both sides by 7/(-1)

And your final answer is = -91

To check input x:

42=-91/7+29

and you end up with 42

42=42

so its correct
