Question

Solve for x.

-6x - 29 = 5x - 7​

Answer 1

x = -2

Explanation:

move the terms

-6x -5x = -7 + 29

collect like terms

-11x = 22

divide both sides of the equation by -11

x = -2

Answer 2

x = -2

Explanation:

-6x - 29 = 5x - 7​

Add -6x to both sides

-29 = 11x - 7

Add 7 on both sides

-22 = 11x

Divide

`(-22)/(11)` =
`(11x)/(11)`

x = -2
