subtract 29 from both sides. divide each side by 6
6x + 29 =5 6x=-24 -24/6 = x = -4

To check if your answer is correct, we can solve the equation step by step.
Given equation: 6x + 29 = 5
Step 1: Subtract 29 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.
6x + 29 - 29 = 5 - 29
This simplifies to: 6x = -24
Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x.
6x/6 = -24/6
This simplifies to: x = -4
So, the correct answer is option 1: -4. Your calculation of -144 might have been a mistake.
