Answer:

-10x - 29 = -18x + 91

x = 15

Explanation:

29 less than -10 times a number is equal to -18 times the number plus 91:

-10x - 29 = -18x + 91

add 21 to both sides:

-10x - 29 + 29 = -18x + 91 + 29

-10x = -18x + 120

add 18x to both sides:

-10x + 18x = -18x + 120 + 18x

8x = 120

divide both sides by 8:

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15
