Final answer:

The given equation (x + 29) is in (7x - 13) is ambiguous. If the interpretation is that both expressions are equal to each other, by solving the equation algebraically we find that x equals 7. This corresponds to option C).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires us to solve for the value of x. Given that (x + 29) is in (7x - 13) and considering the options A) 5 B) 6 C) 7 D) 8, none of the provided references directly solves this equation. However, if we interpret "in" to mean that (x + 29) is equal to (7x - 13), we are then able to solve for x algebraically.

Let's equate the two expressions:

x + 29 = 7x - 13

To find x, we will first gather all the x terms on one side of the equation and the constant terms on the other side:

7x - x = 29 + 13

6x = 42

From this, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 6:

x = 42 / 6

x = 7

Thus the value of x is 7, which matches option C).
