Estimate the value of x given this equation: 11x + 29 = 82

A) 11
B) 10
C) 5
D) 6

1 answer

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

Subtract 29 from both sides of the equation:

11x + 29 - 29 = 82 - 29

This simplifies to:

11x = 53

Next, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 11 to solve for x:

11x/11 = 53/11

This simplifies to:

x = 4.818

Since none of the provided answer choices match the estimated value of x, it is not possible to determine the exact value of x from the given equation.
