Question

What is the solution for x in the equation? 29+15= -x-3

Answer 1

Given:

`29+15x=-x-3`

To get the solution to the equation, we collect the like terms.

`\begin{gathered} 29+15x=-x-3 \\ 15x+x=-3-29 \\ 16x=-32 \\ \\ Dividing\text{ both sides by 16,} \\ x=(-32)/(16) \\ x=-2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, x = -2

The correct answer is OPTION C.
