You want to solve for x so add 18 from both sides of the equal sign. making it 3x=12. then divide both sides by 3 making x=4. x is 4.
- Multiply (-2x-4) by -5:
[(-5)(-2x) + (-5)(-4)] +5x - 4 = -29
= 10x+20+5x-4=-29
- Combine Like Terms:
(10x+5x) + (20-4) = -29
15x+16=-29
- Subtract 16 from each side
15x+16 -16 = -29 -16
15x = -45
x = -3
Isolate the VARIABLE by dividing each side by FACTROS that don't contain the VARIABLE .
YOUR answer is <span>x<12

Answer:
x = 1&16
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 0 then
0 =x^2 - 17x + 16
(x-1)(x-16) =0
x -1 =0 or x-16=0
x =1 & x = 16
