Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this equation, first we need to make the equation easier to read.

So instead of:

8x - (-5) = 29

We will do:

8x + 5 = 29

<em>(</em><em>Note</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>have</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>plus</em><em> </em><em>sign</em><em> </em><em>now</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>because</em><em> </em><em>subtracting</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>negative</em><em> </em><em>number</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>same</em><em> </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>adding</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>positive</em><em> </em><em>number</em><em>.</em><em>)</em>

Next we move the 5 to the other side of the equal sign, by subtracting it.

Now we have:

8x = 24

Finally we isolate the x variable, by dividing by 8 on both sides.

(24 ÷ 8 = 3)

Our answer is 3, therefore x = 3.

Hope this helps you :)

aliya0001 [1]
905 = 9 hundreds + 0 tens + 5 ones
or 8 hundreds, 10 tens, 5 ones

425 = 4 hundreds, 2 tens, 5 ones

8 hundreds, 10 tens, 5 ones
4 hundreds, 2 tens, 5 ones
---------------------------------------subtract
4 hundreds, 8 tens, 0 ones = 480......(905 - 425 = 480)
