X + 11 + 8x = 29. We need to solve for x.
First, on the left side, you have "x" and "8x": You can always add 2 numbers with the same variable, so you have 1 number: x + 8x = 1x + 8x = (1+8)x = 9x
So we get:
9x + 11 = 29
Now subtract 11 from both sides (You can't do any operation if you don't do it both sides), so you can get the variable alone on the left side, and the numbers on the right side:
9x + 11 = 29
9x + 11 - 11 = 29 - 11
9x = 18
Now divide both sides by 9, so you can transform the coefficient of x to one, and have the numeric value of x on the right side:
9x = 18
(9x)/9 = 18/9
x = 2
So x+11+8x = 29 for x = 2.
You can recheck your answer (very important):
x + 11 + 8x = 2 + 11 + 8*2 = 2 + 11 + 16 = 13 + 16 = 29
The answer has been approved.

Answer:
$42.83
Step-by-step explanation:
1: Subtract the amount they have by the amount they need.
1328-43= $1,285.
2: Divide amount they need ($1,285) by the total staff members (30). Hence the equation is 1285 ÷ 30
3: Whatever answer you get from that equation is the answer
1285 ÷ 30 = $42.83
When you divide, you are setting the amount each staff member needs to donate by seeing how much money 30 people can give (equally) that adds up to 1285.
Hope this helps :)
