Question

-29= x + 8
what is x

Answer 1

x=-37 (the answer should have a negative sign.)

Explanation:

To solve this problem, isolate the value of x from one side of the equation.

First, switch sides.

-29=x+8

x+8=-29

Then, subtract by 8 from both sides.

x+8-8=-29-8

Solve.

-29-8=-37

x=-37

Therefore, the final answer is x=-37.
