The expression we have to solve for x is:
In any given equation, to solve for a variables we need to leave that variable alone in one side of the equation.
In this case we need to get rid of the 23 that is besides the 6x on the left side.
For that:
Step 1. Substract 23 from both sides of the equation:
23-23 in the left side cancel each other. And we are left with:
since 29-23 is equal to 6:
Step 2. Divide both sides of the equation by 6:
and since 6/6=1 we are left with the following result:
Answer: x = 1
