Answer:
x=5526
Explanation:
8597-x=7429-4358
Combine like terms
8597-x=3071
Group all constants on the right side of the equation
8597-x=3071
Subtract 8597 from both sides
(8597- x )-8597=3071-8597
Group like terms
-x+(8597-8597)=3071-8597
Simplify the arithmetic
-x=3071-8597
Simplify the arithmetic
-x=-5526
Isolate the x
-x=-5526
Multiply both sides by-1
-X x -1=-5526 x -1 the small x is for multiplication
Remove the one(s)
X=-5526 x -1
Simplify the arithmetic
x=5526
