How do you solve 6x plus 8 equals 3x plus 29?

Answer 1

First you need to get like terms on the same side, the X terms and numerical terms

6x + 8 - 3x = 3x + 29 - 3x (First subtract 3x from both sides.)

3x + 8 - 8= 29 - 8 (Next subtract 8 from both sides.)

3x/3 = 21/3 (Now divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.)

x = 7
