</span><span>Combine like terms: 68 + -48 = 20
20 + 34x = 292 </span> <span>Solving
20 + 34x = 292 </span> <span>Solving for variable 'x'. </span> <span>Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right </span> <span>Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -20 + 34x = 292 + -20 </span> <span>Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + 34x = 292 + -20
34x = 292 + -20 </span> <span>Combine like terms: 292 + -20 = 272
34x = 272
</span> <span>Divide each side by '34'.
x = 8 </span> Simplifying
x = 8
