Question

2x-29=10x+5 given m | | n find value of x

Answer 1

`-4.25`

Explanation:

`2x-29=10x+5`

You would begin by subtracting
`10x` from both sides.

`-8x-29=5`

Add 29 to both sides and move the terms that don't contain
`x` to the right side.

`-8x=5+29`

Next, add 5 and 29.

`-8x=34`

Divide each term by
`-8`.

`(-8x)/(-8) =(34)/(-8)`

Your last step is to simplify.

`x=(34)/(-8)`
`x=-4.25`
