3x+5=29

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation,
3x + 5 = 29

We want to isolate x, so let's first subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
3x + 5 - 5 = 29 - 5
3x = 24

Next, we need to isolate x, so let's divide both sides by 3:
(3x)/3 = 24/3
x = 8.

Therefore, the solution to the equation 3x + 5 = 29 is x = 8.
