Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 11x + 29 = 82 \), you can follow these steps:

1. Subtract 29 from both sides: \[ 11x = 82 - 29 \] \[ 11x = 53 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 11: \[ x = \frac{53}{11} \] \[ x \approx 4.818 \]

Looking at your options provided, it seems that the closest integer value to this result isn't listed directly. However, if you were rounding or estimating based on typical problem choices, the one closest to \(4.818\) is \(5\).

Therefore, the estimated value of \(x\) is: 5
