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
