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

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

1 answer

To solve the equation 11x + 29 = 82, we need to isolate the variable x. We can do this by subtracting 29 from both sides of the equation: 11x = 53. Then, we divide both sides by 11 to solve for x: x = 53/11.

Using a calculator, we can approximate 53/11 to be approximately 4.818.

Therefore, the closest option is C) 5.
