Answer 1

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

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

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

Since none of the listed responses are exact matches, we can round \( x \) to the nearest whole number, which could give us 5.

Therefore, the best estimate from the options listed is:
