Solve the equation 4x + 29 = 5 - 8(x+6)

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

option c) graph of line going through 1, 4 and 3, 10

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to margo's coin collection

let x equal to number of years

at the begining x=0, y=1 → point=(x,y)→point=(0,1)

she adds 3 coins per year, then y=1+3x

at x=1, y=1+3(1)=1+3→y=4→point=(x,y)→point=(1,4)

at x=3, y=1+3(3)=1+9→y=10→point=(x,y)→point=(3,10)

the graph of line going through (1, 4) and (3, 10), then the option c is the correct.
