Medina · Answer 1

First, you should combine the x terms:

-3x - 7 = 29

Then, get rid of the negative 7, by adding 7 to both sides.

-3x = 22

Finally divide 22 by - 3, to solve for x.

x = - 22/3 or - 7.33

Sydnee Mejia · Answer 2

combine like terms

-3x-7=29

add both sides by 7 to cancel it out

-3x-7=29

+7 + 7

-3x=36

divide by - 3 on both sides to cancel it out

-3x=36

- -

-3 - 3

x = - 12
