Here is how you solve for x:

9x - 43/ 3x + 29

1: First, you add like terms. In this case, it is 9x and 3x. 9x + 3x= 12x

2: Then, you have -43 and 29 left. -43 + 29= -14 because you do 43 - 29 and keep the sign of the larger number.

3: Lastly, we have a one-step equation left to solve: 12x-14. So, now we do this:

- divide both sides by 12.

- -14/12= 1.67

x= -1.67

Have a nice day <3
