Question

Find the solution to the following equation: 3x + 5 = 29

  1. x = 24    
  2. x = 11    
  3. x = 8    
  4. x = 6    

hintHint:

The equation is the statement of equality between two expression consisting  of variable and/or numbers. In this question  you have to find x first show both side is equal which is also given and then later remove constant form Left hand side perform same operation on right hand side .

The correct answer is: x = 8


    Here we have to find the solution of equation : 3x + 5 = 29
    We are given the equation,
    3x + 5 = 29
    For solution , we have to find the value of x.
    So , here both side are equal to each other, then subtract 5 from both side, we have:
    3x + 5 - 5 = 29 – 5
    3x = 24
    Now to find x divide both side by 3, we have,
    => 3x / 3 = 24 / 3
    => x = 8
    Therefore, The value of x is 8 .
    The correct answer is x= 8 (option (a)).

    In this question , to solve the equation you have to find the value of x, for finding just eliminate the number of constant of x side. The equation is the statement of equality between two expression consisting  of variable and/or numbers. The expression is having equal sign is called equation. Apply same methods to find solutions.
