To solve an equation for x we will try to isolate x. Hence, first step is to use the distributive property. Therefore,
4x + 29 = 5 - 8(x+6)
4x + 29 = 5 - 8x - 48
4x + 29 = - 43 -8x Combine the like terms.
4x + 29 + 8x = -43 Add 8x to each sides of the equation.
12x + 29 = -43
12x = -43 - 29 Subtract 29 from each sides.
12x = -72
So, x =- 6
