Hello!

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\sf x = -2}$

Explanation:

→ We want to solve this equation:

$\sf 8x+29+x=11$

◼ Simplify the left side:

$\sf 9x+29=11$

◼ Subtract 29 from both sides:

$\sf 9x+29-29=11-29$

◼ Simplify both sides:

$\sf 9x=-18$

◼ Divide both sides by 9:

$\sf (9x)/(9) = (-18)/(9)$

◼ Simplify both sides:

$\boxed{\sf x = -2}$

Conclusion:

The solution of the equation 8x + 29 + x = 11 is -2.
